There is a practical look at why size affects leather pricing more sharply than fabric pricing, why a smaller sofa in better hide usually beats a larger one in cheaper material, and which hidden costs to plan for. We finish with the physical checks that reveal build quality, an honest look at the rooms where leather is the wrong choice regardless of budget, and the simple care routine that determines how long the money you spend actually lasts in daily use....
