Hello everyone,
finally, there is a forum focused solely on building, so I thought I’d sign up right away! I want to buy new armchairs, and now I’m wondering whether to choose microfiber or leather. The price difference is minimal, but which is better when it comes to maintenance and which lasts longer?

Well, this topic never gets old. We bought a leather sofa last year, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s absolutely low-maintenance and easy to clean. Just like with microfiber, there are differences in quality. Kids can damage both materials, but I would generally prefer leather. However, leather does have its limits when it comes to pets with claws. In that case, I would choose a different material or train the animals accordingly (easier said than done).

I really like light-colored leather sofas. However, jeans tend to transfer color onto them quite quickly.

If it had been just one, I wouldn’t have said anything, but there were 5 or 6 of them 🙄

Our daughter once drew on our microfiber sofa with a black permanent marker. The stains came off completely with just a cloth on the cream-colored couch. I never would have expected that before. Leather feels too cold for me personally; I always find that uncomfortable.

Best regards,
