Since textiles vary in weave, thickness and memory, some creasing and/or gathering may occur during the upholstery application process. Due to natural variations over which we have no control, all chairs are sold subject to minor irregularities of color, surface, grain, and texture. Textiles are sold subject to minor variations of color. Because leather is a natural product, variations of texture are common and should be expected. Leather will contain natural markings such as neck wrinkles, scratches, backbone marks and stretch marks. These distinctions give leather its unique characteristics and are considered to be part of the natural beauty of leather.
