Hi... yeah it defiinitely should not have worn so badly so quickly -the reason we bought a leather suite was in the hope we would get a good lifespan out of it

As you know leather is a natural product and different types of leather behave in different ways, whereas one leather suite may look as new after 5 years another type could look quite worn in a very short time. What type of leather is yours, is it pull-up aniline for example? This type of leather is designed to give a distressed look and will leave lighter areas that are in constant use. Does it scratch easily? The leather itself may not actually be worn.

What part of the country are you in? I can recommend a company in Notts called Leather Master that did an excellant job with a leather car seat of mine a few years back. They'll also be able to tell you whether the leather is actually damaged or showing normal characteristics.
