This is a classic example of form over function. I want to be able to READ my book. They are not just there to look pretty/collect dust. It's like the scene in Black Books: "Are these real leather?" "They're real Dickens" "I have to know if they're real leather because they have to go with a sofa"

We have two kids; they have a grey fabric couch in their play room, and we have a black leather couch in our lounge room. The leather is far easier to look after than the fabric. We clean it about once every two months with a leather conditioner and it's still lovely and soft, with no signs of cracking!

It originally comes in the white i remebr when we purchased it, there was a white one like an antique white but I’m not ur normal person and always go for the darks lol, only cause my dining chairs are black cafe style too with wooden table. But I definitely um looking into it. Scared though cause once we touch it we can’t go back lol. I wouldn’t know where to start. I would definitely go for the Matt look. I don’t know I want the streaks on wood underneath aswell comeing through parts of the white too lol. I’ll upload a pic of the white table at the store for you to get an idea

Does the software also work in colour ? Haha -- just me , but I like a 'surprise' spot of yellow or red or orange or even blue or green somewhere to break the monotony . Each to their own , and maybe it has had some finishing touches added , but I look at it and think it needs bright art , or a red leather suite , or an orange winged chair , or even mustard drapes if that's your idea of risky , or SOMETHING more . . . . . . . .
