Construction

Made of a kiln-dried Nettlewood frame. Kiln-dried wood helps prevent warping, splitting, cracking and developing mildew.
Leather is a natural product. Variations in color and texture are inherent to each hide; no two pieces are exactly alike.
Top-grain, aniline-dyed leather will lighten and soften with both use and time and develop a rich, burnished patina.
Frame features a Warm Cedar finish.
Solidly constructed using mortise-and-tenon joinery for exceptional stability.
Seat comes in a Durango Smoke leather or Stone Twill fabric.
Features attractive nailhead accents.
Imported.

Care

Hardware may loosen over time, periodically check to make sure all connections are tight and retighten if necessary.
Never use detergents, polishes, preservers or saddle soap. They can remove natural oils.
Dust or vacuum for routine maintenance.
Do not place in direct sunlight; it will lighten or discolor leather over time.
If spills occur, immediately soak up any liquids with an absorbent cloth and allow to air dry. Thorough cleaning by a leather specialist only.
Most surface scratches will fade over time if you rub them with your fingertips. Friction and heat from rubbing helps to redistribute wax in surrounding areas to cover the scratch. Not all scratches have the same depth, and this may not work on deeper scratches.
Our leather upholstered products are constructed from semi-aniline leather. The full-grain or top-grain leathers are soaked in transparent nontoxic dye, with no subsequent pigmented finish coats applied. Dye penetrates the hides, letting the natural grain show through.
Semi-anilines have natural markings that vary from hide to hide. They also have color variations due to the leather’s ability to accept dyes differently in various areas of a hide. Markings and shading distinguish genuine leather from man-made materials. Appreciating shade differences among hides also means appreciating them on individual furniture pieces, because no two pieces can be produced from a single hide.
Our leathers appeal to customers who find the natural color variations, markings and patina of pure aniline leathers unique and beautiful. They may not appeal to customers who want uniform color and surface commonly seen on less expensive leathers that are heavily corrected and pigmented.
