Babettes and Family Furniture are both on 441 just before the runway of Leesburg Airport. Babettes will be on the left and Family a 100 yards further and on the right. They are both excellent for leather, and Family has been running ads all week in the Sun. $50 off all recliners is all I can remember. If you want to cover all the bases, Blockers Furniture in Ocala is also very good.

As a side note: Blockers, Rooms to Go and Kanes are all almost within walking distance of each other in Ocala. Unfortunately I made the mistake of buying at Kanes and was sold bonded leather. It doesn't hold up like real leather, you'll know because the price is much lower. Our leather powered loveseat was $999 at Kanes, a similar item at blockers if between $1400 and $1800, that's one of the indicators of real leather. Flexsteel is a popular American made leather furniture sold at those three good stores. However, I have read some negative comments online recently about Flexsteels' quality as far as construction the last few years.

If you're not intent on have powered furniture, a poster is selling a Flexsteel reclining couch plus 2 recliners all in dark leather and they appear to be in good condition and they are asking $900. Here's a link:
