We will be talking on selection of leather furniture today, what things should be seen while shopping leather.
Top Grain
Outer layer of the animal skin is known to be a pure leather. Top grain leather is considered to be the best quality leather. Furniture made up of this quality is expensive and if you are getting top grain leather furniture for very less, something is wrong. if you are looking for the top quality lather, budget has to be increased.
Split
Quality of the leather depends upon the place it has been taken from the animals body like split is the kind of leather taken from underside of the skin and thats why its stiff and less durable than top quality leather. Most of the furniture available in market are from split leather as its the only choice for the coloured and designer leather furniture.
Finishes
There are two kind of finishes given to the leather Aniline Finish and Semi-Aniline Finish. Ana line finishes are applied to the best pieces of top grain leather as these pieces look the best naturally while Semi-Aniline Finish means the hide must have gone through many treatments.
Nubuck
Nubuck is a top grain leather that has had the outside surface sanded or buffed to create a nap and a velvet type feeling.
