Expensive BAD furniture.

Think carefully before purchasing a leather lounge suite from these people as the colouring process of their leather is not up to standard and your brown leather suite will turn grey within a short period of time.<br> We bought our suite little more than 2 years ago and within 18 months the armrests and the top of the cushions turned grey. I have spoken to tanneries in Pretoria and they assured me that if the colouring process is done properly the colour should not fade. We brought this to Mr.Pelsers at customer service attention but he is adamant that they can not foresee the condition the suite will be kept in.<br> I can understand that cut and scuff marks would be a problem but there is NO excuse for leather to fade like this especially in such a short time. If this was normal as Coricraft want us to believe,then all cars with leather seats would be grey after 6 months. <br> For a price tag of nearly R40000.00 you are well advise to shop elsewhere.<br>

Hello Lahar,

The type of leather that you purchased is a full aniline leather which has been buffed to give it a distressed look . Extra care needs to be taken to keep aniline leathers out of harsh lighting and direct sunlight. Body oils can also affect this type of leather as it is porous .

We can give you the contact info for a company that can restore the leather for you or you can purchase a tinted hide food from us to darken the panels that have ben affected .

Kind regards,

Olga de Pinho
