Bonded leather is made up of about 20% leather, mixed with scraps and adhesive to form a durable material. It costs a lot less, but it’s reported that bonded leather doesn’t last as long as genuine leather and doesn’t wear as well. It’s difficult to tell bonded leather apart from the genuine thing EXCEPT for the furniture tag. If you plan on having your couch for only a few years, it might be worth trying bonded leather. I also have a dog, and microfiber has worked really well for us – it doesn’t have any loops to snag on our dog’s nails, and if it’s patterned you can hide stains.

I was told by a salesperson that bonded leather would be the best choice for a home with pets. The sample piece was impossible to scratch. She also said that the better quality “real” leather grades would show much more abuse from our dog’s nails. We want to get a decent quality but also want something that will hold up to our dog, as it will be impossible to keep her off when we are not home. Our previous purchases were various fabric and none of them seem to hold up and all are hard to keep clean. Any advice?
