What is bonded leather and how long does it last?

Bonded leather is made from shredded leather fibers bonded with polyurethane adhesive and applied to a fabric backing. It has the appearance of genuine leather at a lower cost but begins to delaminate and peel typically within 2–5 years of daily use, especially in direct sunlight or dry environments. For executive chairs used daily by senior staff, bonded leather is not recommended. At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we clearly identify bonded leather products and recommend top-grain leather for heavy-use executive environments — call 1-800-460-0858.
