Default Re: Bonded Leather Furniture?

Bonded leather is not recommended... Its really just a plastic overcoat on top of either a reconstituted cowhide base or even worse, a base of the cowhide shaved from the lowest part of the dermis that would otherwise be used for scrap. Its really just a way to call cheap plastic material leather, nothing more...

That said if the furniture is cheap and will be used in an area where it will be destroyed anyway, it might be a good buy... Just remember, "bonded leather" = "plastic".
