Hello,I have a nice dining room table and four perfectly solid dining room chairs. My problem is that the chairs are filthy (two young kids!) and are not the sort of material (or colour!) that will wipe clean.So, I want to re-upholster them with something that is darker and will wipe clean of the various spillages that will happen at dinner.I am thinking leather , faux leather or something like that.Can anyone give me any suggestions of where to look for the material please?Or even some other ideas of what material to use?Thanks!Duncan
