    Difficult to see how they can conclude wear and tear without inspecting, but perhaps you submitted plenty of decent photos?

    Anyway, perhaps worth getting an inspection carried out (and report written) by an independent furniture expert, and then use that as the basis on which to exercise your consumer rights for repair/replacement/refund.

    How did you pay?

    I would expect leather furniture at that sort of price to last a long time.  We’ve had 2 lots of  leather settees/chairs over 30 years and the only damage was due to cats, it seems cat claws and leather furniture are highly compatible 😹.
