Everything we have written down, in one place. These are the pages we would want to read if we were the ones spending the money — what the materials actually are, how to tell a real seller from a fake one, and how to look after the thing once it arrives.
None of it is a sales brochure. Where a page describes what we build, it says so plainly and gives you a way to check it. Everything here opens in a new tab, so you will not lose your place.
Before you buy
What full grain, top grain, split and bonded leather actually mean, what “leather uppers” is really telling you, and how a man-made covering compares with hide. Written by the people who upholster the things.
How to Spot a Fake Furniture Advert
How fraudulent adverts are built, the checks that catch almost all of them in about five minutes, and what to do in South Africa if you have already paid. Includes how to check us.
Why factory-direct costs less than retail
What a shop price has to carry that a factory price does not, what you give up by buying direct, and the four questions that tell you whether a seller calling itself a factory actually is one.
Delivery, payment, warranty, collection, sizes and the questions people actually ask before they buy.
Once it is in the house
Looking after your air leather suite
Water only, what a spill needs, and the household products that quietly destroy a coated surface. Worth reading before something happens rather than after.
The same guide we email with your order — keep it on your phone or print it for the drawer.
Looking after your genuine leather suite
Conditioning, sunlight, and how often hide really needs feeding. Following it is a condition of the warranty, so it is worth ten minutes.

Practical
Delivery is priced by province. Put in where you are and see the figure before you commit to anything.
Something we have not written about?
- Ask us on WhatsApp or by phone — the numbers are on the contact page.
- If it is a question worth answering properly, it usually ends up here as a page. Several of these started as a customer asking something nobody had written down.
We have been manufacturing lounge furniture since 1990, for most of that time under other companies’ names. These pages are what we would tell you standing next to the suite.
