Leather Care Instructions
Before using your new leather recliner you must read thoroughly through these operating and care instructions as being a natural material leather does behave differently from man-made items and requires different care from fabric upholstery.
Important:
Safety and Care
Please note that reclining chairs and reclining sofas contain moving parts. Is important therefore to pay particular attention to the safety instructions.
A reclining chair should never be used as a bed or as a substitute for a bed.
Why is leather different?
Being a natural material each leather piece can display different Marks and characteristics. As such no two pieces of furniture will be identical and even within one item separate areas can display different characteristics or shading due to being made from two different hides.
Consequently, leather furniture can show many different marks caused by healing scars, insect bites, creases, veins, growth lines and growth variations, etc. All of these are not faults but are natural features that help give leather its unique character. None of these natural markings will affect the durability or performance of the furniture.
shade variation, therefore, has to be expected and whilst we make every effort to minimise this Swatchs, samples and store displays should only be used as a guide to the colour.
Also as the product ages shade variation will occur on each piece as the leather mellows and again this can vary within different areas of each piece of furniture. Specifically, areas, where the leather is upholstered tighter to give a neat appearance (eg: around the arms of the chair), can shade and wear more quickly than areas where the hide is not as tightly upholstered (eg: under the arm).
Please note that leather will stretch and crease, particularly in the first few weeks of use. This will be most noticeable in areas Of immediate use ie: The seat and back of the chair.
