Some people get disappointed when they get their leather sofa home because they made the buying decision based on the wrong expectations. When we choose leather, we have a desire that it appear flawless, easy to clean like vinyl, but soft and supple. When you invest in a sincere leather product from us, you can expect that you'll have a unique piece. Leather is an animal hide that has been highly processed to preserve, soften, beautify and save the finished product. The huge variety of leather available today can usually be put into one of three categories: Aniline is the most spontaneous looking leather with the unique surface characteristics of the hide remaining visible. Aniline leather is colored only with dye and not with a surface coating of polymer and pigment. Semianiline is more durable than aniline whilst quiet retaining a automatic appearance. Pigmented leather is the maximum durable and is old in the majority of furniture upholstery. A exceptional surface effect has been created to mimic the unique 'worn' appearance of conventional leathers. A leather with a spontaneous appearance which lightens in color when stretched during wear to provide a unique old in effect with time. Not all leather couches are created equal, and sofas made of bonded leather are a prime example of true furniture inequality. Bonded leather is made mostly of blended leather fibers that are glued together (very much like chipboard vs hard timber) , then covered with a vinyl top. Made from polyester, there are fresh fabrics available that mimic the look of leather, without feeling plastic like vinyl. Artificial leather is prone to cracking, bubbling and peeling over time, is firm to mend if ravage occurs (replacement upholstery required), and generally does not age well. The sofa pictures below are an example of a bonded leather sofa that has cracked and peeled within a scanty years of use. Having said that, vinyl and man made leather like fabric can be effective for small furniture applications such as dining chairs and bar stools where replacement of a damaged seat cover would be less expensive. Where durability is a priority, consider a quality fabric or real leather over artificial leather.
