I think you major concern when buying leather furniture is either the leather used is artificial leather or natural leather. Artificial is almost the half price compared to natural and some shop keepers scams their customers like that BE CAREFUL.

i think the most important is durability and maintanence.

leather goods must maintain or else no matter how expensive it is, will easily spoil.

Where it is made. As now lots of furniture are from Buffalo skins which is bigger and would be easier to work with for upholstery. And do look out for the join pieces or stitch together pieces as more pieces cheaper the leather, becauz they are able to join smaller pieces together. Maybe more stitching more work manship but lesser leather are being used.
Color fastener of the leather, do bring a piece of tissue or white handkerchief, and dap a bit of your saliva on the cloth and rub a bit of the leather to check the color stability.
