When comparing to the Milo Baughman case sofa, which is very popular and in-demand, this Warren Platner sofa is hands down better in every way. First, it is more comfortable, with each of the three seats having a loose-styled seat and back cushions. The cushions are stitched in so they do not fall out of place, but they add additional comfort you otherwise would not have. In addition, the quality of construction is far greater. These were made for very-fancy high end executive offices - the materials and craftsmanship is simply superb. The Milo Baughman case sofas use inferior substrate with wood veneer which is prone to damage and wear and if you get one with original leather which generally you won't find - it would be with either faux leather or a lesser quality leather. The leather on this Platner sofa is thick and durable, made to withstand commercial use, while soft and comfortable, and the hefty steel base exudes quality - the kind you do not find in products made these days.

**We also have a floating executive desk and credenza by Warren Platner for Lehigh Leopold. If you are looking for the full suite (sofa / desk / credenza set) please message us for more details.

This incredible executive three-seat couch by Warren Platner for Lehigh Leopold is ideal in a Post-Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Space Age Mod, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Zen / Minimalism room or office. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Hollywood Regency, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office.
