Leather sofas

Hi Qlers
Another piece of advice needed from you folks.
I am planning on buying a good leather sofa set here in Malaysia and bunging it into my container with the rest of our belongings. My questions are :
1. I am paying the equivalent of QR 5,600 for a 2 X 2 seater + 1 single seater with recliners for genuine leather. Does anyone happen to know the price tags in Doha - just so that I can justify my purchase here!
2 I am concerned about the durability of leather in the Doha summer. Dont want to feel hot and sweaty and have the leather stick to one's skin coz of the heat. So, any of you with leather sofas, please let me know if they go down well with the Doha summers.
Thanks and look forward to your responses.

Sorry just wanted to add, the set comes with recliners - so that one can ut one's legs up after a tiring day at the office.

The set I was considering is cow bovine leather.

2 double seaters and a single seater for QR 5,600/-.

Do you think I can get this cheaper in Doha?

leather sofas and leather seats in cars are just good for looking only... it does not absorbs heat, thus u will feel always hot on ur backside and on ur a**.... really not good in qatar...

I work in a furniture company here at Doha, Our Showroom at Al Nasr Street, around 3600 riyals you can fetch yourself a very nice italy made leather sofa, very high quality.

I have leather sofas in the UK and sometimes in summer (not too hot in the UK) I tend to stick to the sofa, I solved it by buying cushions and throws, maybe thats an idea? :) they also stop it being cold in the winter.

Leather furniture is widely available here and is less expensive. The other question does not really apply unless you plan to put your furniture outside. Inside it would be in A/C. so it's not an issue.
