Choosing the right sofa is all about personal taste. Some people will like a firm sofa that encourages a good posture whereas others will be looking for something to sink into after a hard days work. Design, or style, is also an important consideration.
If you live in a modern flat, for example, an antique Moroccan divan is going to stick out like a sore thumb. Sofa’s don’t exist in a vacuum but compliment the surroundings where they live.
Matching your furniture to an underlying theme will add a touch of class to your home-space whilst demonstrating your good taste.
Today, we’re going to take an in-depth look at the latest, on-trend sofa from high-fashion outlet Divano Roma.
A fusion of classic Italian design aligned to contemporary trends, Divano Roma is a bespoke furniture catalog with an affordable price tag. The modern bonded leather sectional sofa is ideally suited to spacious living rooms but the practical L-shaped design can be fitted to smaller rooms as well.
The black bonded leather upholstery is a splendid compliment to naked wooden boards or carpeted floors. My first impression is that the Divano Roma is an adaptable piece of furniture that will suit a variety of interior designs.
Given the low price, the leather is surprisingly good quality with well stitched seams. It’s firm to the touch indicating a good amount of foam stuffing beneath the leather upper. For me, a sofa that is firm to the touch suggests a lasting build that won’t fade over time.
Another advantage of a firmer sofa is that they inspire a good posture and won’t become uncomfortable when sitting for a long time. This makes the Divano Roma perfect for those lazy weekends in front of the telly or entertaining friends and neighbors.
The Divano Roma arrives in two pieces with the legs separate. Putting it together is a straightforward task using only a screwdriver and following the simple instructions.
Once it’s in place the first thing that strikes me is the looks. It’s an elegant piece of leather chic that compliments a modern household superbly.
The clean black leather upholstery is timelessly versatile making it suitable to a wide range of living rooms and styles. Placing a glass coffee table in tandem with the Divano Roma gives the room a sharp, New York feel that I really like.
The sofa itself is carefully constructed to maintain a flat geometric shape. There’s nothing worse than spending time putting furniture together only to find it rattles, squeaks, or worse, topples.
Once all the screws are in, the unit feels appropriately sturdy to the touch and whisper quiet. For me, that’s a testament to good craftsmanship and attentive manufacture.
Normally, I wouldn’t expect a sofa in this price range to be so well put together which is why the Modern Bonded Leather Sectional Sofa – Small Space Configurable Couch is a truly satisfying purchase.
Features of the Modern Bonded Leather Sectional Sofa
The Divano Roma cross sectional sofa upholstery is made from bonded leather. Bonded leather is a material constructed from blended leather that’s finished with an oil-based polyurethane varnish.
It gives the Divano Roma a blemish free finish that is smoother to the touch than real leather; it also doesn’t get as hot, nor as sticky. The upholstery feels sleek and has a flattering shine that implies excellent quality in the finish.
One of the things I always look out for when furniture shopping on a budget is the construction materials. I’m happy to see the Divano Roma is supported by a hard wood frame.
Hardwoods are a lot more durable than blended woods, or chipboard. This sofa won’t fade away, or weaken over time so you can relax, safe in the knowledge, that the Divano Roma is a lasting investment.
What strikes me about the DIvano Roma is it’s inherent versatility. It measures up at a modest 78″x 54″ x 34″ that make it ideal for smaller spaces or cubby holes whilst it’s classic design more than holds its own in a larger living room.
The reversible chaise section allows you to fit it to your dimensions without damaging the balance of your space. Tastes change over time, but class is permanent. The Divano Roma has all the features I’d look for in a long term purchase.

Verdict

My overall impression is that the Divano Roma is a bespoke piece of furniture available at a fraction of the cost. A top buy.
