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's real leather (not bonded) in body contact locations. It's faux leather on the sides and back.

It's very durable bonded leather...I've had mine since January and it still looks brand new...and I have a dog and cat too! :)

No - Bonded leather is not real leather. They wear well and look nice - BUT - they are cheaply tooled and are a mess to put together. The screws don't all match the threads so not all of the screws went in properly and there were no extras. I have one chair that is unstable, but can't seem to fix it because the screw receptacle in the chair back isn't tooled to the proper depth. It took hours to sort it out (and I am VERY handy). I would NEVER buy these again. EVER!

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!

i'm pretty sure it is bonded leather. I think means thin leather bonded to a backing. I put mine in a condo that we rent out and it is holding up nicely. It is roomy enough to hold all the pillows and blankets for for a pull out couch.

It's bonded leather, but is really nice and very soft. We've had it for over a year now and have had no issues with it separating, peeling, or tearing. Looks just as nice as the day we brought it home.

Bonded leather is made with real leather but it's basically ground up leather that is made into a leather pulp and re-formed into leather like sheets. The look is "leather-like", if you look closely and feel, it doesn't look/feel like fine quality leather but they still look really nice! I love these chairs and the quality of them is lovely. I get tons of compliments on them.

Yes the one you are looking at is bonded leather and is carried in stock. If you want a top grain leather add about $1,100 to that price and it takes about 10 weeks to get. You need to contact us directly to special order.

i'm not sure but it could be a thin kind of leather I would have to take them off to verify for sure. Sorry but I never paid any attention to that

It is bonded leather, which is leather, but not as high quality as the leather used in sofas and jackets. Google bonded leather to learn more. I just unpacked our coffee table yesterday, and it appears to be very sturdy and well built. There are no buttons on the tufts, which I like, but hard to tell from the pictures. Also, the drawer is very nice and is mounted on sliding rails similar to a kitchen drawer.

I've forgotten the industry name for the stuff, but it is 'mostly' leather, a composite of ground up leather and synthetics which feels, acts, and smells like leather, is sturdy and authentic looking. The chair is attractive, has a nice 'hand' if you prefer to sit on on leather, and is a bargain. I suspect the frame will loosen up and fail long before the composite leather upholstery wears out. Ah, found it in Wikipedia, it's 'bonded leather', "...The US Federal Trade Commission recommends according to 16 C.F.R. Section 24: "For example: An industry product made of a composition material consisting of 60% shredded leather fibers may be described as: Bonded Leather Containing 60% Leather Fibers and 40% Non-leather Substances."[7] The Federal Trade Commission has said that "The guidelines caution against misrepresentations about the leather content in products containing ground, reconstituted, or bonded leather, and state that such products, when they appear to be made of leather, should be accompanied by a disclosure as to the percentage of leather or other fiber content. The guidelines also state that these disclosures should be included in any product advertising that might otherwise mislead consumers as to the composition of the product..."

I'm not an expert, and it doesn't specifically mention it on the product. However it feels and looks the same as my leather jacket, if that helps at all.

Its bonded leather. Looks ok, feels ok. After my cat scratched it, it became obvious it wasn't anything but bonded leather. At least its not plastic.

Yes, this is bonded leather. It is a very good quality product. You will not be disappointed unless you are comparing it to an Italian leather couch.there will be a difference. I have a couple very large dogs and they have not damaged the seating area with their nails

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.
