Why should I buy leather?
Leather is the longest lasting and most durable upholstery material you can get–perfect for any room of your home or office. It is the strongest upholstery material known to man and will withstand the rigors of daily life, including children and pets. Although the initial investment of quality leather may be more than fabric upholstery, leather is actually your best value in the long run as it outlasts fabric 4 to 1.

How long will my leather couch last?
With proper care, a quality leather, unlike fabric upholstery, can be expected to last an average person's lifetime. Certain features become imperative when choosing an upholstery material that can last for decades. Look for zipper access. Zippers on the seat cushions and back bags insure you can refill your sofa. Leather can last decades, but seat cushion cores and back bag fill will not.
