What you need to know before buying a leather chair
With so many different materials and styles of chairs available on the market, how do you know if a leather chair is the best choice for you?
The good news is when it comes to durability, leather is the most durable material of them all, so it's perfect if you have kids. Just like other leather products, leather material does get better with age. And while leather can last decades, the seat cushion may not.
The best furniture leathers are full grain and top grain, and they are the strongest and most durable leather while feeling luxuriously soft.
Faux leather is vegan-friendly, budget-friendly, and a perfect alternative to real leather, but they are less durable and often have an off smell. Faux can be a way to go for anyone who doesn't have a big budget and prefers perfection.
