What types of leather are used in executive chairs?

Executive chairs use four main leather categories: genuine top-grain leather (the highest quality — durable, breathable, develops patina over time); split-grain leather (lower grade, from the underside of the hide — less durable, often embossed); bonded leather (leather fibers mixed with polyurethane — good initial appearance but peels after 2–5 years of heavy use); and polyurethane (PU) leather (synthetic — uniform appearance, easy to clean, no peel risk, lower cost). For executive offices with heavy use, top-grain leather is the best long-term investment. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we specify the leather grade clearly on each product — call 1-800-460-0858.
