Some say this is vinyl, some say it is leather, on this listing it states leather, is this true?

There were two companies making the chair, I was told. The older company used vinyl, the newer used leather. The casters didn't work and they couldn't be replaced, so we returned the chair and didn't replace it.

It's a very durable attractive and well built chair. I assume leather but hard to know for certain. Had it for a few years and very happy with it. Hope that helps.

It feels like leather, but I do believe it is not. In any case this chair is very poorly made. It looks great when new but did not last 6 months before both arms broke. I threw it away after nine months.

To me it's soft...I had a hard plastic front this does not. It's a soft leather not a vinyl. Just so you know I can't feel it when I have it on it's very comfortable

This question has been asked and answered a lot. It says "leatherette." It is much nicer than basic vinyl, and has the general look of leather, but it is not genuine leather. I actually find it preferable to leather for its purpose.

People, let's get one thing straight. Calling bonded leather, leather, is like calling a hot dog a filet mignon. Bonded leather is made from real leather scraps, ground up and reconstituted into leather "product". It is only 17% leather, mixed with polyurethane, and on a cotton backer. That being said, it is not as bad a vinyl, but it is IMHO NOT leather!

No, it's not real leather but vinyl that looks like leather. I will have to say it is a very good buy for the money. Most comfortable!

Hello Mandeep. It's Top grain leather on all the seating area (Everywhere you touch) with matching vinyl on the sides and back. Let us know if we can assist you further.

Sorry, not sure. It is definitely not vinyl. Some type of fabric, my guess would be nylon

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 Bicast was originally made for the apparel industry for glossy shoes, and recently was adopted by the furniture industry.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.

I'm not sure if it's genuine leather however it's not plastic either. All I can say is I had it for some time now and it wears very well and it looks really professional. It was a great buy and would highly recommend the purchase .

I don't think it's real leather, but it is nice. Appears real. Probably leather.

I would say it's the vegan synthetic leather. I have a leather cover also and it's not as soft as it but for the price it's a great deal. It doesn't look or feel cheap either! :)

NOT genuine leather...I believe it is a VINYL - combination type: You GET what you PAY for: REAL, 100% GENUINE FULL LEATHER would set you back, financially, 2-3 times $$$$ MORE !!!!

Monica, no its not leather, but I'm not sure its vinyl. It does seem to be durable, and has 3 slots for CC's and one for money. For me it is as good as the ones at the phone shops for $45 bucks without a screen protector. Hope this helps.

I seriously doubt it is real leather. I bought it & am fairly certain it is faux leather/vinyl. It is made well, so we kept it, but I feel the price is too high for vinyl.

The box states "genuine leather". It doesn't smell like "vegan leather" (which is really just polyurethane over a polyester base) so it probably is real leather, for the most part.

as the previous reviewer said, it's not real leather. it looks like a cross between canvas and leather. it doesn't look bad.
