Is it, or is it NOT "Real" Leather?

I have a bonded leather chair. After 5 years the leather scraps are un-bonding. It's as if the chair is shedding scraps of leather with the fabric base showing through. Keep that in mind when you buy a chair with less than a 5 year warranty.

As the description says, it is "bonded leather." Here is a description, borrowed from Evans, Gary. Thomas, Larry. "Bonded Leather Making Inroads in Upholstery." Furniture Today. Aug. 29, 2011. Retrieved 2011-8-29: Bonded leather, or reconstituted leather, is a term used for a popular upholstery material, which uses natural leather leftovers that are bonded back into larger pieces. The base upon which the reconstituted leather is applied is a strong fiber, and the mix can have varying degrees of organic leather - between 100% to 60% while the rest is polyurethane. The larger hides have the appearance and the smell of organic leather, but at reduced cost and with less wastage compared to organic grown leather. So, it's neither fake, nor completely real. In my opinion, at this price, even bonded leather is a pretty good deal, and it has the look and feel of 100% organic leather.

Probably that "bonded" leather the chinese are using on everything now. It is a very nice chair though.

I assume its real leather. They look and feel great. Not uncomortable like posts say

Def not real leather. It's a plasticky shiny material. It's quite stiff too. The packaging doesn't say for sure what it is. And there is no smell.

It's real leather... They use a different environmental friendly way of treating the leather. I've had mine for over a year. I use it for my tattoo portfolio and it's viewed daily. Do far it's held up well

Dear, it is real leather, honestly for cost control we cannot use leather with the same as an 'Hermes'. BUT IT IS REAL, and with great durability. If you gonna get one, please leave us a comment after you receive the product and check the leather quality, and we will be very grateful, thanks!Gary

I think the top part of the cover might be a real leather, but I am not 100% sure. It looks and feels very good, though.

It's definitely not real leather. I would say its more of a PU leather/faux leather. I've had it now for a couple of months and I really like it.

You may want to ask the seller. To me it seems like some fake leather. Not quite as baby soft as the originals but a great replacement. I use them all the time and I am satisfied with the quality.

Sorry, I forgot some things, but it is real leather, no doubt about it. Feels like it and smells like it. It is fairly thick.

It is NOT real leather. However, it is nicely finished, and looks very much like leather.

It's neither faux nor real. It's called bonded leather which is a thin surface of leather bonded to substrate.

Mine certainly smells and feels like leather. If its a "fake," someone did a great job.

Yep, it's real leather. Not bad construction and assembles relatively easy as well. Color was a little lighter than the picture, but nbd.

Hi Atalanda. I checked mine carefully and yes,it is real leather. At least it looked real to me.I looked behind the cloth covering that is on the inside where the stitching allowed me to peek and yes, it looked real. I really like mine. Some complain that the paper is 'tissue like'. I used regular pen on mine, not fountain pen, and it works great.

It feels like real leather, but I really don't think it is. It doesn't have the smell like really leather has.

It is advertised as a leather case and also feels like leather. If it's fake, it's a good quality fake leather.
