Problem with Oakfurnitureland leather sofa

[Homer'sWife]

We bought a reclining leather sofa from Oakfurnitureland 3 years ago. Last night I thought DH had dropped some chocolate on it and so got a leather wipe and just wiped it. Turns out it was not chocolate, it’s the leather coming away. I know I will get no joy from the shop but wondered if anyone else had this problem and is there something I can use to make it look better. I always sit on a fleece blanket as I don’t like cold leather so my seat looks as good as new 😂 it’s DH and his butt that must have worn it away.

I can’t really help, but can offer my experience of a similar situation, our settee was a Harvey’s one, we’d had it 6 years and DH managed to wear a hole in the arm! I think it was partly due to it being quite thin leather (cheap and nasty - ours not yours) we’ve bought a new one now and gone for better quality hopefully!

Is it leather or just coated or bonded leather ie leather either sprayed or bonded on to another fabric sounds like it it’s a very common occurrence with them
You have to be so careful buying ‘Leather ‘ furniture

It’s also the more expensive ones tgat don’t seem to last these days.
We have a G Plan suite and after 5 years the springs are shot (no, not larger framed people either)

Think it must be coated or bonded. Very annoying!

Yeah, we have oak furniture land ‘leather’ chairs to our dining table. 6 years old, 6 chairs but some rarely used, 2 never used due to high chairs, and it all started to crack and peel. It was getting worse and leaving a mess on the floor. We now have chair covers unfortunately.

On a positive note we’ve had some great furniture from oak furnitureland, much better than Oakworld, just problems with the fake leather.
