Good information. Nothing is so frustrating as having a pricey leather piece start to crack or fade in a couple of years. We have leather chairs and sofas that are still in fine condition even after 20+ years. I remember reading that "analine dyed" is the thing to look for. It means that the dye penetrated deep into the skin, not just the surface, so that the color is much more lasting and doesn't show scratches.

Good info, and very concise. Thanks for posting : )

Tinker1121, Thank you for posting such great information I just printed for my important info file.

You're very welcome.

Now, if someone could post an easy guide to buying a mattress set I would be a happy camper. Been putting it off for years as don't want to get it wrong again! lol
