Daily reminder than any "faux leather" furniture you buy will look like this in three years max

Just get regular fabric if you don't want to pay for leather

[–] SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Isn’t that bonded leather? Faux leather is cloth, zero leather or bonding to another surface to be peeled.

[–] DoYouNot@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

Faux-leather isn't great, depending on how it's made - but bonded leather is literally garbage glued to fabric.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago (2 children)

If it was bonded there would be some there but it would be flaky. It's a slow process that happens pretty much all over.

Faux rips/tears easily then a section peels off. It goes from fine to gone.

Maybe it's bonded and the picture is after the owner tried to "clean it up". But I think this is just the cheap fake leather based on wear.

This picture looks like text book bonded leather wear.

How can cloth peel? It’s one solid woven material if it’s faux. It tears and rips easy since it’s cloth and zero leather.

Fake leather is bonded leather not faux leather….

How can cloth peel?

Oh ok.

You think faux leather is made of cloth.

It's not, its polyurethane.

That explains why you were so confused. Glad I could help

That’s PU leather which is a different type of faux leather….

The picture is bonded leather PU leather doesn’t peel either… faux leather is fine, bonded is the garbage one. I’m sorry you made a very common mistake. I And I’m also sorry for pointing it out to you, but you’ve only made yourself look like an idiot here.

I don’t know why your source doesn’t talk about the cloth ones, but even PU leather doesn’t peel…. Take the L, you’re just wrong lmfao.

He tells everyone he's going to block them when he doesn't like what they say. (Narrator: He actually doesn't.)

There's something extra funny about your condescension combined with being confidently incorrect, plus the link that doesn't support your argument at all. Are you trolling? It's just too perfect, few people are naturally this stupid. You've gotta be trolling.

[–] mathematicalMagpie@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

You can see it peeling and flaking in the OP.

Looks like someone doesn't want to deal with the hassle and (small) cost to dispose of a couple heavy chairs.

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I think i have that couch on the right in my living room

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If you also have the chair on the left, this might be your living room

[–] midori@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And if not, they should make them an offer!

Infinite money hack

[–] argh_another_username@lemmy.ca 4 points 8 months ago

You’re not getting it. It’s real leather from a spotted cow.

I wouldn't give him 300 pennies
