Congratulations and thank you for your support of our family’s business. We have put together a guide to understanding and care of your new leather furniture.
All the fine leather furniture brands we offer feature superior construction, comfort and styles that are not only fashionable but timeless.
Like all quality furniture, your leather furniture will require minimal maintenance to keep it looking pristine. We hope this answers all your questions pertaining to your purchase.
Prior to your new leather furniture’s arrival, you should have the area cleared where the new will be placed. Also make sure any tight hallways that will be used for your delivery are cleared on any items that can be knocked off the walls or tables. If the furniture will be placed on a wood floor you should have protective coasters to place underneath all legs.
Factories always overstuff both seats and back pillows. Your new furniture is the stiffest and firmest it will ever be. There is a period for the break-in. This is intentionally done. After the foam and fill relaxes the cushions will be the perfect size for the maximum comfort. As you begin to use your furniture slight differences in firmness between seat cushions will steadily disappear. If you have box seat cushions, they should be swapped out occasionally to keep wear even. This will help keep the cushions looking balanced.
Some leather types may display minor surface marks that will disappear with use. This could be any sort of range mark caused by insects, scratches, differences in grain or healed scars.
Real cowhide leather is supple to the touch and very durable for furniture. It breaths naturally taking in moisture from the room keeping it soft and supple through the years. It will remain room temperature no matter which season. Warm and cozy in the winter months and cool and refreshing through the summer. Since leather is a natural product, it is going to have a wear story from the life of the animal. Each hide is different and can include healed scars, marks from barb wire where the animal brushed up on, stretch marks, wrinkles insect bites and even brands.
Here are a few examples that you might find within your new leather furniture.
Healed scars, differences in grain pattern, shade variations and stretch marks.
Dust when you dust your other furniture. Avoid long periods of UV exposure., including skylights. Avoid sharp objects while enjoying your leather furniture. Arms and backs are not made for sitting. Only sit on the seat cushions.
Do not use after market leather cleaners or conditioners including saddle soaps, windex or harsh cleansers. This will void your leather warranty. Only use these leather cleaner and conditioner products on your furniture. For suede or nubuck leathers blot stain or spot with a color fast cloth and you may use a soft brush to dry. Never scrub, only blot.
