Question

i was just wondering when they say its real leather does that mean cow skin. i'm going to purchase a sofa from dfs. here's the link if you want to know what one ->http://www.dfs.co.uk/sofas/leather-sofas/new-orlane/ and i wanted to know when they say 'in 100% real leather.' do they mean the kinda ones made out of cow skin or artificially/man made. i have been told that real leather made out of cow skin cost lots like over thousands. and the one i am buying is only £849.(sorry i don't know this is us dollars or any other currency) so is it artificial or cow skin?

Answer 1

If they say it's "real leather" then that means cow skin! I don't know whether they're lying, but according to the website you provided, it looks like you found a cheap, real leather sofa!

Answer 2

If it says leather it is leather, leather comes from cows, the price depends on the grade of leather. DFS do not use particularly fine grades. That is not particularly cheap, there plenty of cheap leather sofas on the market,You can pay thousands for any kind of sofa whatever it's made from. DFS sofas are not very good quality, granted that looks nice but how long for? and how comfortable is it? are the backs and undersides of cushions full leather? - I doubt it, Wait a bit it will be half that price in the next promotion, which will probably start before they even deliver it, they can take 12+ weeks, so November and the Christmas promo will start about 6 weeks before Christmas when they will say 'guaranteed delivery in time for Christmas' don't ask me how they can go from 12 weeks standard delivery to 6 weeks or less before Christmas.
