Yes, leather is a more expensive upholstery, but it is long lasting and over time, an excellent investment, looking wonderful for many years to come. Leather feels cool in summer and warm in winter. The tough vine-like qualities of rattan translate beautifully into this design. Rattan provides a natural weave with just the hint of a sheen.
