Leather sofas

Okay this is totally off track here but I am considering moving the sofa from the lounge into the conservatory and getting a leather sofa/suite for the lounge anyone any tips. Somehow cream does not seem a sensible option with my two. So though Mocca (brown) any suggestions??

How does leather stand up to dog paws I figure it has to be easier to keep clean than fabric but does it hold smells etc.

Never had leather so need all the help and advice I can get.

Much appreciated, Karen

I was really dubious till I got mine (black). Thought it might be cold/uncomfortable but it's not. Cats haven't managed to get their claws into it, so, at more than 5 years it looks good as new. Wipe down with a damp cloth is all it needs.

Brown is nice.

Ahhh almost forgot the cats but they don't scratch the furniture anyhow thanks for that. I will seriously look into a leather sofa in the sales maybe a purchase

mine still looks new after 4 years and to keep it supple and clean i use baby wipes
i think they are much better than fabric sofas
ours is dark green

We have leather. Its quite good. The dirt does show abit, but it is cream after all Dad got it into his head he wanted a creme leather sofe

But its lasted 2 years so fat, only 2 biggish ripped bits from Tamino. The 2 cats haven't marded it hardly at all.

And brown sounds lovely

I have a litle black leathersofa... But I cant tell you how it is to sit in, havent tried it yet..... Got it after I found Dogweb

Hi
I would certainly get a dark coloured one, as I have a cream one and it shows all the marks and scratches left by my dog when he sneaks on. They are much easier to keep clean than fabric ones.

Ive just asked Pete about his brown one on an other thread

leathers great- unless you have a sofa killer called Lib

we have had no problems with leather. We have had ours for 2 years and not a scratch and thats with Star bouncing all over it.

our blue one was fine too- til it was killed

cream i definately wouldnt have- used to have one years ago when the kids were little and they end up minging
