I have only had it for a month and change and worthlesss dogs who do nothing other than bark, shed, and otherwise cause unpleasantness. We have been very happy with the purchase. We bought two of these and we are very happy. They wipe up terrific, seem to keep their shape. I do not think they will stand up to a WWF wrestling, they are light, but for the price I am very happy. If you want full up wood withstand little boy holocaust, then you will have to spend about double pf this, but we are very pleased with this purchase.

Yes, I have had it for 14 months now and I have a 7 month, 38 lb boxer puppy and 1 year old chihuahua and I was terrified about their nails and jumping on and off and it has had no snags, no stains, no sagging. I am very pleased with it. Best purchase ever - go for it!!

Hi...hope I am of SOME help. Have owned the sofa- love seat for a little over a year. For not being actual leather it is holding up decently, HOWEVER, I do not have children or pets. Don't think it is made for rough-housing. Cushions are holding up well. Use it everyday.

It's Top Grain Leather everywhere you touch and Split Leather on the sides & back. No bonded leather. It's 100% leather.

Not real leather but the quality is good. My dog jumps up & down on it, I have a big basket on it for magazines, and it has held up well. I have a brown real leather sofa from Havertys & got this ottoman because it was priced way lower than the one offered by the store, offered good storage, and as it turned out, it matched the sofa really well. I've had it for a year now and I am pleased with it.

My opinion is that it would not hold up to the claws or if the dog likes to chew...It is synthetic leather.

I believe it is the same as bonded leather. It is smaller pieces that are fused together. Does not look like pieces though but like a regular full hide leather. Had the sofa for a couple years and wears well. Just got ottoman to go with it

Well, I had this for almost 5 years and it's still like brand new and the my dog is on it everyday. It's well made and very sturdy. I have to tighten up the screws everyone once and again because my 60 pounds dogs sits/lays and bounds off of it. Really a nice piece of furniture. Hope this helps.

First of all. I wonder if your chair is really leather or bonded leather. There is a difference. Bonded leather will crack and flake. I have a real leather Stressless Recliner that is over fifteen years old and the only wear and tear that it shows is some of the tanning color is gone in spots, but it is not flaking or cracking. I really don't believe you have high quality leather and that your leather is bonded. Of course, I have always used Leather Masters. If you have used anything that is damaging to the leather that will also cause the leather to deteriorate.

I had a little dog on mine once and it scratched it pretty good but didn't rip. I would avoid pets on them.

I have had it for about 6 months and have had no issues. It seems to be heavy enough to stay pretty much put. I say that with no pets and my kid hasn't figured out how to pull it down yet, so take that with a grain of salt...

It looks like leather to me, so i clean it with leather wipes and just looks gorgeous. I've been using in photography studio for almost 2 yrs. as prop & still looks like new. I've recieved many compliments, just love it.

Yeah I think so... It's a pretty good quality leather... Unless he just sits down and chews it you should be fine!

I personally wouldn't recommend this couch because it was kind of pricey ($500 to me is expensive for a temporary couch) and it was hard as a board. As far as durability, it was fantastic. We have a dog that sheds A LOT and the couch was easy to vacuum, and if we had to, we could take the cushion covers off and wash them, no problem. It also looks great aesthetically. However, the cushions were so hard that no one wanted to sit on it, so we ended up selling it on Craigslist and getting a nicer, comfier, softer couch. If $568ish is low cost for you and comfort isn't a super high priority, I would say go for it. It looked like new when we sold it 2 years after purchasing it. Hope that helps!

It is bonded leather, which is leather, but not as high quality as the leather used in sofas and jackets. Google bonded leather to learn more. I just unpacked our coffee table yesterday, and it appears to be very sturdy and well built. There are no buttons on the tufts, which I like, but hard to tell from the pictures. Also, the drawer is very nice and is mounted on sliding rails similar to a kitchen drawer.

The bottom side of this is a a different material than the top side. It is not a snug fit so it will move around on the seat a little if the dog moves around on it. I am not for sure it would scratch the leather, but I could see that it might over a period of time. If you flipped it over and put the cloth side against the seat, that would probably not hurt the leather but then you might lose the waterproof part of the cover. I don't have leather seats so I can't really say for sure. I will say that it's probably better to have it covering the leather than having a dogs claws on the leather. :) The bottom side of this is a a different material than the top side.

I've had mine since December and haven't had any issues. It seems pretty durable for me. It doesn't get sticky when it's warm, that's the beauty of fake leather! I say it's a pretty good deal! I've had two friends stay the night and use it as a bed so it's been put to good use!
