We bought a leather recliner early on during Covid from Wayfair. It gets a lot of use since it's in the livingroom. IF it's bonded leather or even nauguahyde it's holding up well. It looks great and is very comfortable. It was ordered with "some skepticism" in that it was "un-returnable" if I remember correctly. BUT so far, so good! As an aside to this----many years ago we bought a recliner at a furniture store that was highly recommended. It was nauguahyde and really didn't stand up. After a year's use---the arms on it was cracked and foam was showing. We called them up and complained. A man came out---they got recovered and a year or so later, the same thing happened. It was a LaZboy! We hauled the thing around and years later I went to an upholsterer to have it re-done in fabric. He was also a LaZboy merchant (had a store). He said the "workings" in it weren't made anymore but they were still in great shape. We got several more years out of that chair. I'm thinking that furniture these days aren't made as they once were. It is a crap-shoot if we get items that will stand the test of time.
