RB I have a bedroom reading chair, it's called my bed. 
I'm a fan of those chairs but in my bedroom it would be a very expensive clothes holder...

Can I safely assume that everyone in this thread who has nice leather furniture, does not have cats? I have a leather sofa that I inherited from a family member, which has suffered a little from tiny claws over the years. Luckily, I'm not overly fond of this particular piece of furniture, though it has served me well over the last 20+ years.

I've got one that came from my grandfather's old furniture store.
GF gave it to my dad when GF retired & closed the store in the early 80s.
Only needed to have it repaired once...never reupholstered.
I suspect it didn't sell because it is a lovely shade of royal blue...can't imagine it marching any decor.

We have 2 all top-grain leather power sofas and an all top-grain leather power leather recliner and presently 3 cats. We have had cats for 30+ years and never had a problem and there are no scratches on any of the furniture other than the 4 cat trees we provide for them. Those belong to them and they can do what they want with them.
Cheers!

I have leather in my theater chair recliners in my lower level TV room. Cats have never punctured or torn any chair that I can see. There are a few scratches if you look closely. I'm not sure if these are actually leather or something leather-like, which may make a difference. I'm sure some cats would tear them up. I don't know what %.

WOO HOO! My Stressless just arrived a few minutes ago. If this keeps my back even slightly free from pain after an hour of sitting when even lying in bed hurts after an hour I will be a happy camper. I will find out tonight. If not then my last resort will be to string a hammock in the back yard and sleep there.
Cheers

Good luck! From what I've read here, you won't be disappointed. Let us know. Out of curiosity, how long ago did you order it? Did you wait months for its arrival?
