Okay so I'm seriously considering getting a leather couch & loveseat. What we have now is a khacki denim fabric. The covers remove completely to wash, but that is such a pain in the (_*_) to do! When we bought them it seemed perfect... until I realized with 4 animals and 2 kids how often I'd be removing & washing them!
My husband doesn't love leather, but he has his Lazy Boy he sits in anyway, so he doesn't count. My concern is, we have 2 dogs but also 2 cats. I'm so worried the cat claws will destroy the leather. While they don't intentionally claw the furniture, they do get on the couches & I'm afraid they will leave punctures or scratches when they jump on/off the furniture. I read that blended or bonded leather supposed to be more resiliant to kids & animals & is cheaper to boot. Who knows. But do any of you have leather & dogs, cats, kids? How does it hold up to abuse? Mainly animal claws. I gotta prove my case to my hubby and as we all know, I can't end up being wrong about it! Haha! I know it will be so much easier to clean animal hair and smooshed banana off of leather.
