Hi guys, just wanna check with you guys. How’s your chair pu leather holding up after 1 or 2 years?
This is mine after 1 year 10 months, it started with some fine crack. As shown in picture below.





After another 6 months(2 year 5 months), this is what it look like now.





I am quite sure, i am not the only one right? Kindly share your experience here. Cheers.

How much is your investment cost? so shelf life is like 3 years?

if it peels off..
that is not a genuine leather..
most probably pu or pvc..
how much is the chair?

it is pvc

faux leather. wat u expect?

This is secretlab chair. 500sgd u talking about LOL

500sgd for less than 2 years. What a sh!t right.

PU chair does not last long if you spend lots of time on it. Consider getting better leather ones.

Lol buy the lesson with 500sgd. Prime pu leather. Better off with a rm200 chair. And the pvc also never peel off after years, just that the comfort part cannot compete.

secretlab edy advertised as PU leather..TS also mentioned PU leather in the post..just that secretlab has advertised their PU leather's durability to be 'vigorously tested through 200,000 flexing and abrasion resistance test cycles'..

unfortunately, vigorous testing can't beat real world usage, PU leather is polymer leatherette after all

Ya they expect u to wipe the chair everytime u use it. As if you're owning a pet than a pathetic chair.

Ya, 500sgd for this I think we do have way better option than this. Regret spending on this sh!t.

sorry...i dont know the brand..i used office chairs...
for 500 sgd...i can buy a good genuine leather chair i guess...

After some time, you can scrape off all the poly stuff, leaving you with just a cotton chair, or what's left from the bonding material from the PU leather. You can accelerate the decaying process by leaving in the sun.

At that point, you can just either leave it be as a cotton chair, or buy some real leather and glue it to the chair. Based on picture 5, there's a high chance that the bonding material from the original PU leather is enough to be bonded to new original leather.

That's why.. lol expensive lesson.

Wa this sounds legit. Ok will see how once the cr@p drop off totally.

Its legit, I got an old chair, the PU starts peeling off, after some time the PU all brittle, I just scrapped them off. Still got a nice cotton bonding layer underneath. I just use it as it is. Don't force scrape them or you'll risk the underlying bonding material to rip off as well.

By the way, I don't know what's the bonding material for the PU leather on your chair. It could be thick, it could be thin. Its good if its thick.

You can get leathers from Mega Leather Shop. You can go for new one, or you can go for the leftover stock (cheap old stuff). But real leather don't disintegrate like PU leather does, so its okay to go for that if you don't mind the cosmetics. You gotta to DIY it yourself though.

i think you can bring it to custom shop that fix it instead of change a new one if the cushion is still good?

DONT FALL FOR CONTREPRENEUR ,

Totally 100% agreed. Fell for it already. Hahaha.
