    Can you share the company name to  benefit others who may be looking to buy a sofa?

    Looks like I’ll have to put it down to experience and never buy anything from this company again! I really think The Daily Mail should not endorse this company. 
    They don't it will just be a advert..
    Life in the slow lane

    The website states ‘bonded leather’.

    No not in sunlight but that seat is used constantly 
    It looks like bonded leather which looks nice to begin with but splits easily.

    You get what you pay for with sofas and that was quite cheap. 

    I'm currently flumped on my leather sofa from M&S that i bought in the sale for about £1500 about 18 years ago. The kids dive all over it and its still in amazing condition.

    Our other sofa we bought this year and we paid for extra thick leather so hopefully that will also age well.

    I would contact the shop and see what they say as it should last more than 2 years. They'll probably say it's just cosmetic. 
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    That paper has an interesting history when it comes to endorsing things.  Gutter rag.
