How durable is the surface? Real Bi-cast leather? Puncture proof? Recommended for someone with kids/pets?

It's a very nice piece... But we had to send it back THREE times because if was damaged. The boxing they put it in definitely doesn't protect it. Not puncture proof at all. But when we finally got one with minimum damage we kept it. We didn't want to go through all the BS again. Hope that helps

I received it already punctured and returned it also do not believe that the vinyl or whatever the material would have lasted---would not recommend for kids, pets or anyone. seemed like a good idea initially but glad I returned it--would have shown wear easily.

I don't know what the actual material is but it is extremely durable. I have a dog and a 3 year old who play on and over it every day and after 9 months it looks exactly as it did the day it arrived.

Not puncture proof. My boston terrier has torn it by running across it. I will have it re upholstered eventually because I really like the fuctionality it has.

Real leather, and I have had mine several months now with daily constant use and it shows no wear

I will say that the leather is very firm leather, unlike traditional "softer" sided leather. The sits are FIRM and comfortable. I would say it will do just fine with children, don't know what type pets you talking about about.

I've had mine since December and haven't had any issues. It seems pretty durable for me. It doesn't get sticky when it's warm, that's the beauty of fake leather! I say it's a pretty good deal! I've had two friends stay the night and use it as a bed so it's been put to good use!

hmmm... I cant say for sure that it real leather or not, but it is of high quality material and certainly looks/feels like it. My dog has been wearing this for 6 months and it has not peeled. But, he is also a pug and very lazy so not much activity going on with him :-) Hope that helps!

The epoxy coated ones they have out now are VERY durable! Our dog has had his for about a year now and there are no signs of wear.

I have three labs and the plastic material has held up well. The Subaru rear cargo mat is very durable as well. I think rear seat liners and cargo mat are well worth the money.

I've only had mine since mid June but with a toddler and two dogs, still look like new. Pretty durable but be careful putting together - my husband did screw a screw too far and blemished wood finishe on one of them. Luckily small and not noticeable.

We just got ours. Seems durable. Three kids, two big dogs, three cats. Seemed to have a decent warranty.

It is a sturdy fabric, not as heavy as canvas but several layers. We had one complaint that one of the straps broke after only a few uses. We have a Kurgo car seat cover and for years it has provided good protection and a canvas like material with a vinyl water proof backing. We use it for more than transporting the dogs (3). I use it for bringing home plants and flowers etc. I think if you have a small dog the cover you ask about would be fine.

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.

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 would take the to a leather shop and ask them to be on the safe side. Those are pricey items to trust just anyone's suggestions. Sorry I am not able to help.
