The Dangers of Buying Full Grain Leather Furniture Online

by

buy full grain leather furniture onlineYou’ve probably seen articles floating around Facebook with titles like “15 Photos that Prove Buying your Prom Dress Online is a Bad Idea” or “Biggest Online Shopping Regrets.” They’re usually filled with pictures of what the product was supposed to look like compared with the ridiculously disappointing results. While these articles provide a good laugh, they also raise an important point. Some things are too important to buy online. So if buying clothes online is risky, why would you buy full grain leather furniture online?

Four Important Reasons to Avoid Online Furniture Sales

Deceptive Marketing Methods. Many companies advertise their furniture as 100% real leather. This label can be applied to all kinds of leather grades, including scrap leather that’s been pieced together with chemical adhesives. You need to read the fine print to know the truth. Or, go to business you can trust.

A Chance to Try Before You Buy. We cannot oversell this one. If you choose full grain leather furniture it can last up to 15 or 20 years. You’re looking for decades of comfort not backaches. Testing out the furniture in person lets you make your best investment.

Beware of “100 Percent Leather” Furniture

by

100 percent leather furnitureWhen you go shopping for new leather furniture, you’ll find a lot labeled as “genuine leather” or “100 percent leather” but huge discrepancies in price and quality. Unfortunately, most companies can get away with hiding the details in the fine print. If you’re looking for 100 percent leather furniture — as in the real deal, Leather Expressions can help. All of our products are 100% top grain leather, the highest quality leather available.

Everything You Need to Know about “Real” Leather

Watch out for deceptive labeling. This is where things can get tricky. Keep your eye out for terms like “bonded leather,” “corrected grain,” “P.U. leather,” or “bi-cast leather.” While all of these contain scraps of real leather, they are actually low quality imitations with short lifespans. Another helpful hint: if something is priced significantly cheaper than a trustworthy brand, it’s probably too good to be true.

Pay attention to leather grades. Thankfully, there’s already a helpful hierarchy of leather grades that lets you know where to find good quality products. Lower leather grades are cheaper for manufacturers to use and it’s difficult to know the amount of organic leather material vs. chemical. High quality leather grades are exclusively used to create high end products.

Never settle for less than top grain. Top Grain leather is the best furniture investment you can make. While lower grade leather furniture lasts around five years, top grain leather furniture can last fifteen to twenty years. Leather Expressions has top grain leather options that will suit any home from maximum protection leather, to performance leather, to natural leather.

Leather Expressions makes it easy to find. Leather Expressions stocks trusted brands dealing in exclusively top grain leather. We provide various color and style options, so you can tailor your new furniture perfectly to your living space.

What’s Aniline Leather?

by

What’s Aniline LeatherEvery home has its own unique sense of style and one of the best things about leather furniture is its ability to fit in with all aesthetics. Whether your living room has a contemporary or rustic vibe, the perfect leather sofa is out there. If you’re looking for the ideal match for your home, your first question should be: what’s aniline leather?

All About Aniline Leather

If you’ve heard this word before, you know it’s a chemical compound. Skip over the overly scientific stuff and you have an organic base used to make dyes. What does this have to do with leather furniture? Everything.

Aniline dye is able to color the leather without out producing a synthetic looking top coat of paint. It leaves all of the natural beauty and integrity of the leather in place. This means that it can only be used with the most high quality leather grades. Go with a lower quality leather and all the surface blemishes will be left in plain sight.

Explore Natuzzi Editions

If you’re looking for a pop of color, Natuzzi Editions is one of our first recommendations. They are one of the top brands available and have an incredibly versatile selection. With sofas, ottomans, recliners, and customizable sectionals, they truly are the best option for finding a good fit for your home.
