I saw this chair at a friend's house and the fake leather is peeling off like a snake, and they treat it with utmost care. Anyone else?

I've had them for about five months now. Holding up great. No peeling here.

I've had this chair for five months and so far have not had a problem. I've been happy with it. I do have a cushion in the seat since I have a back problem and maybe that has helped save on the wear.

I have has my chair for about 6 months and have had no problem with the "leather". I use it 5 days a week in my office.

I have not noticed any wear and tear on ours. We have two and use them pretty frequently.

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 !

No, the seat is very narrow. Plus, the leather feels like plastic. I rarely sat in the chair and ended up selling it.

If you are looking for a long lasting chair definitely this is not the one you are looking, mine after a couple years of casual use is ready for the trash, material is faux leather (not the real thing) which now is peeled off, padding/cushion don't exists and cylinder start to fail after the first year.

The one I had was imitation leather. It was meant to be wiped off. It wore out well before the first kid was done. Unfortunately Peg Perego did not sell replacement seat covers, so that expensive high chair that should have lasted for 4 kids was put in the dumpster. I contacted the company and they said, "tough luck, we don't sell that model any more. We will give you a coupon for twenty five dollars off a new high chair." They were very unfriendly, too. I will never buy anything from Peg Perego again for baby showers, etc. p.s. it was not really designed to be easy to clean, either, as there were many folds in the fabric.

I don't think it's leather but very leather like. I like the way it looks and feels. We don't use that chair a lot, it's mostly for decor and when guests come over but we've had it for a while and it looks like new.

It is "faux leather" or pleather/fake leather. It's probably better than leather durability wise. My old ikea chair is kinda losing part of it's surface... I literally just assembled mine. Loving it. Will have a review video up on youtube soon and a review here on amazon. I'm definitely satisfied :) It may suffer from "sweaty back syndrome" under the right conditions. There are mesh versions of DX racer on their website for about $350. I'm sure amazon has them floating around as well.

Hi Jennifer, This chair is not 'real' leather but more of a leather-like quality

No, it is not "real" leather. Some distributors are calling it Bicast leather which is described in Wikipedia as " A material made with a split leather backing covered with a layer of polyurethane that is applied to the surface and then embossed. Because it is only used for the backing, the leather portion of this material is generally not visible in finished goods made from Bicast. Bicast was originally made for the apparel industry for glossy shoes, and recently was adopted by the furniture industry. The resulting product has an artificially consistent texture that is easier to clean and maintain, as is the case with most plastic materials." That being said.. I am still quite happy with this purchase. It is holding up well to my grandchildren and my feet are propped up on it every night and the padding always returns to it's original form. The wood is not the highest quality out there but then neither is the price ;). It is perfect to have around the kids and just not worry about..and still look good in a common area.

It is bonded leather which is ok unless a cat scratches or it tears then it can peel off unlike real leather. The chairs are comfy , ok for the price

I've had four of these chairs. Each of them have at least one broken joint. If you find a replacement, I'd love to hear about it. I went old school and just fixed it with duct tape. :-D

mine didnt tilt like may of my other chairs have. im a heavy guy. mine did break just short of 2 years, but honestly, i think that was from the threshhold i was rolling over the last 3 months i had it. the leather is fake and peeled after about a year. i bought another chair from a fat man store that was wider, and ive had that for about 3 months and is trashed already.... im going to buy another one of these, as its lasted longer than other chairs ive paid much more for, and if it wasnt for the threshhold, id probably still be using it.

Yes, my leather chair arm looked awful . I really didn't think it could be fixed. So I googled how to fix it and ran across this product. To be honest I can't believe how good it looks. Trim off the excess leather and stuffing. Fill it in with the filler and lightly sand. It took several applications but soon it was completely fill in and remarkably smooth. Mixing the color was a little tricky but I finally got it pretty darn close. You really can't tell it was ever damaged. I was quite proud of my work. The cat has been declawed. Good luck it is a great product.

Yes, this faux leather is shiny-ish. The chairs still look good, there's only one scratch (don't remember if i've mentioned it in my review, can't see the review as i type). But ever since then, its so far so good, we still utilize chairs like "crazy" i have 5 people on weekdays, and 7 on weekends. So if you can imagine, it gets pretty busy during the meal times. I hope this helps. :-)

Carol, I'm not positive is real leather -- I thought perhaps a synthetic; however, this chair is incredibly well-constructed, and nowhere on the chair could I find a "raw" place to see what it looks like on the unfinished side. It is definitely not an inferior product, but of very high quality. Yes, the price is excellent. I've had my chairs in my kitchen, daily use, for several months now, and there isn't a sign of wear anywhere. Easy clean with a damp cloth. Beautiful. I hope this is helpful.
