Understanding the Estimates

The figures shown are planning estimates, not guarantees. They include a general allowance for the upholstered exterior of common furniture styles, but individual pieces vary. Decorative skirts, channels, deep tufting, oversized cushions, unusually wide pattern pieces and matching requirements may increase leather usage.

Leather Lady recommends ordering all hides for one project at the same time plus ordering an extra hide (which you can return, you pay for the shipping).  We buy overruns and close outs from furniture manufacturers so when we run out of a color we will not be getting the same color back in stock.

 Genuine leather naturally varies from hide to hide, and hides selected together are more likely to coordinate in color, grain and finish.
