What is the most durable leather for furniture?

1 Answer
What is the most durable leather for furniture?
The most durable leather for furniture is arguably full-grain leather. Produced from the entire hide and untreated, full-grain leather is thick and strong, yet supple. Not only is the material able to hold up to the effects of regular use, but it also allows the beauty of the leather's natural grain to remain visible, enhancing the visual appeal of furniture.
