Can anyone speak to the quality and durability of bonded leather used in this sectional? Thanks!

I bought this sectional and after receiving it with a huge hole of a rip on the back of the sectional I contacted the seller, which gave me the run around about replacing the piece that was ripped. The end result was nothing no responsibility taken and I was stuck with a almost 2000$ sectional with a huge hole.

Bonded leather means smaller pieces that have been pressed together. It looks great. I really picky and I love the couch. Before ordering online I went to home decorators to look at. Really pleased. Very durable and texture does not look like pieces. Lends itself to chesterfield design.

It appears to be leather, not bonded. It has worn very well and is used almost daily. Do recommend it to any potential buyer. You have to put the feet on when it arrives, but it was packing EXTREMELY well, not a bit of damage. Hope this helps.

Hi...hope I am of SOME help. Have owned the sofa- love seat for a little over a year. For not being actual leather it is holding up decently, HOWEVER, I do not have children or pets. Don't think it is made for rough-housing. Cushions are holding up well. Use it everyday.

hi, I like your post. I just want to know more about "vinyl". We just got our huge sectional recovered with "faux leather".. aka vinyl. since the denim slipcover was old and the couch was still great! Also, my husband has allergies... and leather or vinyl is easier to keep clean. but the smell is terrible!! I had done a lot of research on the feel and look.. but never heard a thing about the health concerns or SMELL!!! I am encouraged by your post.. but still nervous it may not be safe.. and also. wondering if this smell will EVER go away?!!

Bonded. I try to avoid "bonded" because if you Google it you will see the only standard is that there is at least some ground-up leather in it. It could be an ear. I prefer dead-animal free but I purchased this chair with a taint of dead animal in it. I could not sit on an entire leather skin of a dead animal, but that is just me. Vinyl has its own issues too.

Wonderful full grain leather! We've had three of these couches in our great room since early November. We have 3 labs, a Jack Russell and 2 Shih Tzu's. We allow the dogs on the couches. There are no scratches so far and I remarked to my husband earlier today the the leather just feels softer and more comfortable as we go! LOVE THEM! I don't know why the other folks say their sofas are bonded. Ours are not! Watch the video at Coaster to see the process in which they are made. We have always had top grain leather and these sofas are no different! Good luck!

First of all. I wonder if your chair is really leather or bonded leather. There is a difference. Bonded leather will crack and flake. I have a real leather Stressless Recliner that is over fifteen years old and the only wear and tear that it shows is some of the tanning color is gone in spots, but it is not flaking or cracking. I really don't believe you have high quality leather and that your leather is bonded. Of course, I have always used Leather Masters. If you have used anything that is damaging to the leather that will also cause the leather to deteriorate.

Bonded leather, also called reconstituted leather or blended leather, is a term used for a man-made upholstery material made as a layered structure of a fiber or paper backer, a pulp made from shredded leather, and a polyurethane coating which is embossed with a leather-like texture. It definitely feels like leather, but I would say that real leather would be more durable than what they put on most chairs. These chairs are typical of what you would see in most stores. They are comfortable and washable.

It's bonded leather. However it looks pretty good and feels nice as well as leather.

This is made with 100% Bonded leather. Bonded leather is real leather which is formed from cattle hide into leather pieces and they put a backing on for strength and durability. There is different quality levels of bonded leather just like top grain leather. They use a very nice bonded leather that is durable and very soft to the touch on this set. It is a very nice set and made in the United States which is rare these days. Thank you, Home Style For less

All leather except the lower backflap in rear is matching vinyl. It smells strongly of leather and I was impressed with the quality, bonded leather is not usually this thick.

It says in the Product Description that it is bonded leather. If you google bonded leather you will see it is not true leather but almost like a veneer layer of leather over something else. In spite of that we decided to give these chairs a try and we are very happy with them! They look nice and the assembly is pretty easy. After sitting in them for a movie I am ready to get up and walk around as they start to feel uncomfortable but that might just be me. Overall, we are very happy that we bought them and we actually now own 4 !

I'm no furniture pro, but in this humble consumer's opinion it is bonded leather. I hear that bonded leather is only 17% leather bonded to vinyl. I will say that other than that it is a nice, comfortable, sturdy chair.

I purchased it about 4 months ago. I beleive it is bonded, but not sure. I was happy with the quality and it is actually quite large. There are a couple miss stitches on the top, but not bad.

We've purchased two of these, one is the black and one was the graphite I believe it's called. Both were great quality leather, very durable. My teen age son has one and it has held up well.
