    Have Harveys sofa and chair (not Langdale). Would I buy from them again? No.
    If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales

    Durable ? generally the cheap end of the market is not that durable . But one persons durable may be 3 years another 10 years .


    fromm google

    Leathaire is 100% synthetic, but carries traits similar to that of genuine leather. Developed only a few years ago by Chinese manufacturer Man Wah, leathaire is marketed as a fabric and breathes better than any of its faux leather counterparts.
    Lethaire is capable of adapting to body temperature and is a durable fabric that looks and feels like real leather. Like most faux leathers, the fabric is easy to clean and maintain while remaining soft with continued use.
  • We got one in Jan 2015.

    Been fine, no problems.

    Used and abused by a family of 4 and 2 dogs.

    Could probably do with a bit of a clean but there's no obvious signs of wear.

    The only problem is the recliners collect junk and dirt underneath
