Bonded leather = PASS
Yes Just googled ....looks like bonded leather is mostly fake, thanks for the heads up (I thought my char was leather lol .....my chair is still great though)
Bonded leather is actually a mix of both real and fake leather. It is made from the leftover scraps and fibers made from processing genuine leather mixed with a polyurethane binder. These fibers are then rolled together using adhesives to bond them onto a paper backing. Some manufacturers may add an additional coating of polyurethane to the bonded leather and emboss it so it has the texture of real leather. Most bonded leather is comprised of only 10-20% genuine leather. Some manufacturers market bonded leather as real leather, when it in fact only contains a small percentage of genuine leather.
Brickseek gave me inventory for this chair at a location 30 minutes away, I called and they confirmed stock and price at $159.
Instead, I went to my local Staples in town and located in the clearance aisle:
Tempur-Pedic Bonded Leather Executive Chair, Black (TP2500-BLKL) for $148 and took that home instead for similar pricing. Link for reference. https://www.staples.com/tempur-pe...ct_2801086

So YMMV, if interested, check out your local Staples to see what's cooking.
ALSO, I purchased on same receipt 3 years protection policy that covers wear and tear - priced at $19.99 for purchases in the $100-199 category.
