Dark brown leather sofa (Waunona neighborhood Madison)
Giving away or will have to trash. Still comfortable but leather peeling on some cushions. I Used inexpensive leather application on one cushion and it held up for long time. New owner could reapply to all butt cushions and would look better. You just have to pick it up.
