Is this real leather? I am looking to replace a chair that was a leather-like material, but has cracked and is peeling.

I think Leather, it's really nice, have had my for 3 years, only bad thing is the wheels break, but high class. It's a big chair though so have some room.

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 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.

I do not think it's real leather. Already tearing. Just got it in February.

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.

I honestly don't know if it's "real" leather BUT it's great material either way. I would guess it would cost more if it were "real" leather. I bought one for each grandson for Christmas they love them and they are very easy to clean. Well worth the money and better material than the ones in stores. Believe me I looked everywhere before I decided to try these because the ones in stores looked so cheap. Great value for the price!

Even though it may FEEL like real leather, it's NOT real leather. I've not felt the need to treat the chairs any kind of conditioner so far. I hope this helps you.

The seat and back materiel is probably plastic, but it feels like leather and is soft and pliable. I am very satisfied with my chair.

It is leather that has been bonded to a fabric. It is leather on the top where you touch with the same look and feel. All leather is a bit thicker. I have been satisfied with the quality. I used the chairs in my office conference room. I get lots of positive feedback from everyone. I have had them for about 6 months.

There is no leather in this chair. The back and arms are plastic. It is well constructed though.

I'm not sure if its real leather or not. I have used it quite a bit and it has held up so far.

It's fabric, not plastic. Personally, I like that better because the old chair I had was vinyl/plastic and it cracked at the seams and stuff.

Hi Crissie, I'm not a leather expert by any means, but I will say that these chairs seem to be high quality and I can't tell a big difference between these and another leather chair I own. So far these chairs are holding up well. Apparently from what I have learned is that bonded leather is made from smaller pieces of leather glued together to resemble real leather. Anyway, I like these chairs and I would buy more.

It is definitely not all real leather. Honestly, I would not recommend this chair - not worth the money. The seat cushion has surface scratches all over it (the black covering of the seat is extremely thin & the tan colored interior shows through the scratches). I haven't had mine long at all and already the pumping mechanism has stopped working. The screw covers on the sides of the arms didn't set right from day one. As for comfort, I would give it a 5/10. Also, I find the chair too warm - once you get too warm there is nowhere for your body heat to escape. I hope this answers your question, and any others you may have.
