I've been ripped off before by "real leather" that was actually "bonded leather" which is basically waste leather added to plastic so it smells like leather but really isn't very durable at all. So they need to make this very clear that it is real top grain leather.

there's also dissolved leather scraps into fibers slapped together with bonding agent and textured to look like leather but not leather hide they still call it real leather because the material is leather even though its been processed and held up together by glue.

So...bad news is that it is PVC leather and not actual real top grain leather.

Scroll down to the Specifications table for the disappointment. 🙁

go on soul revolver on amazon they make leather jackets and see what each one is made of. only rarely do they use good quality leather all others are listed as imported. and recently all leather products have gone on sale due to low sales. Also, having a chair made of leather may not be a good idea in this day and age. across the states there is a huge bed bug problem and your 500+ dollar chair will get infested. yes you can treat for that but would you really use it after you know its been infested?

FAIT, looks like another Tom's Hardware miss-leading article titles.

FAIT, you might want to actually go back and look at the chair you linked. It is not the same chair that the article shows. Notice the holes up near the shoulder and the different design in the back area? Read the specs on this link. Now whether or not Tt is lying since the one you linked has "Real Leather" in the name but still uses PVC, that's a whole other topic.

These chairs use garbage PVC leather. Super disappointing.

One day, someone will make a real leather gaming chair.
