The marketing genius who came up with this.
Bonded leather is no more leather than wood veneer over pressboard is wood.
Nothing beats a quality leather, except for cost of the material. And for those who care about the environment. If I toss a "vegan leather" surface out, it breaks down into micro-plastics that float around for a millennea. Real leather is biodegradeable, it will decompose andl return to the earth from which it came.
Genuine leather is the next worst. I would never buy either of those types of leather.
Split leather, top grain, and finally full grain is the best in that order. I would buy any of these.

For quality they go like this, and I will try to explain the differences too.
Bonded Leather - Barely leather, basically scraps and bits of leather material glued together and then glued to fabric or PU material to hold it all together.
Genuine Leather - Very similar to bonded, but with bigger bits but still glued together
Split leather - This is real leather, and is what most people would call suede, but can be processed to be smooth too. The hide includes two thick layers, the underside of which is generally referred to as split, but this is the "bottom layer".
Top Grain - This is the other half of the split leather, but is the smooth "outer" side of the leather (hence term "top" grain). This is a little thinner and easier to work with, so many products like shoes, handbags, wallets, jackets, etc. are made from this layer.
Full Grain - This is the whole hide, including the split layer and top grain layer all in one. It is the thickest and can be hard to work with, but is the most durable of all the leathers. Couches and car seats are things often made with this product.
same happened to my zvago zero G chair. Bonded leather just started to crumble off, and I couldn't figure out what to cover it with to still keep it. Now have a zvago with fake leather and couldn't care less.
