It splintered and broke in less than a week. "Skin" scratches, cuts and scrapes too easily! it cannot be polished, hidden or repaired. Very poor quality and doesn't last at all or doesn't last at all. Wears out too quickly. Does it have to be full-grain, "natural" or bonded leather? I think it was spray painted cheaply in China to look good in the store but the lousy paint rubs, scratches and flakes off immediately. Lousy "finish" peels off immediately. Absolutely terrible! NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL! Unlikely! We will come back in any case. defective product. must keep looking elsewhere. such a shame. I at least like the style, I just wish it was done better.
