    How can I tell if that's thet are, and would they have a pattern running through them and not smell 'leathery'!?

    Do they have that awful plastic smell that faux leather can have? I have 2 leather sofas but i don't remember them smelling mush of leather but we were decorating at the time.

    no they don't smell leathery at all, they have strong oily plastic smell!

    (Can't beleive the amount of interest my chairs are getting! I've not had a single response to my bank charges query!)

    Oh, by the way!

    Today I received back my recorded delivery letter, sent on 28 June, to the shop, complaining about the whole purchase/delivery time, table delivered damaged with no chairs issue we had with them! (can I post a copy on this!?) This means that the shop was not open on the day the letter was delivered (they rarely are anyway) and that they did not bother to conatct the post office to collect the letter! - Just as well I posted a copy of the letter, by hand, the same day! Despite 'her' still not having read it on the day we finally went into the shop to confront her personaly - on 30 June!

    I've got my local trading standards visiting this Monday to take a sample and get it tested! Keping you all posted!

    Just wondering after reading this thread a while back, what is happening so far with the leather/not leather chairs?
