Ikea Ektorp sofas - svanby or korndal?

Hello we are considering purchasing an Ikea Ektorp sofa in grey which we saw on a trip to Ikea a couple of weeks. But when going on to the website to order have noticed there are 2 greys Svanby and Korndal - anyone know the difference in look/feel/hardwearing etc?

Comments

  • Looking at the other colours in the Svanby and Korndal ranges (on the armchair as it's a bit more close-up) it looks like the Svanby is a thicker fabric, and so probably more hardwearing. This is echoed in the price too as it's a bit more expensive.

    It's only a game

    Thanks - yes the armchairs photos are more close up than the sofas, svanby looks nicer on the armchair. We're thinking about the corner sofa - where interestingly both fabrics are the same price
