They are vinyl not real leather so should survive most things.

Did you get them? I am thinking about getting them...

@Peggy W did you get them? I'm considering them but sheesh, so pricy.

I did not. Too expensive. I think Wayfair has knockoffs. I have bought many things from Arhaus in the past and I can say the quality is superb.

Thanks @Peggy W. It's relief to know if I get sucked in, the quality is probably pretty good! I'll keep looking a bit though. They are on sale in the $500 range, regular up to $700 and that's just crazy. =(

Hi @Nancy D-

Do you find them comfortable to sit in them for a stretch of time (e.g. for working)? They seem a bit thin on the cushion...

We bought a set of Gage chairs as well as matching Gage counter stools. They are comfortable and look very nice, but the faux leather is prone to staining and peeling. Within a few days of owning them, we started seeing a bunch of large discolored dark spots all over the faux leather. This is not from spills, but rather I believe from the natural oils in people's hands, as the stains are also on the sides and backs of the chairs where people's hands would grab to move them. Scrubbing with soap and water helps but not completely. Then after five months of usage, we noticed the counter stools peeling or flaking where the stitching is on the sides, revealing a white material underneath. I'm sure this is caused by the friction of people sliding into / out of the seat. I contacted Arhaus and they said the peeling / flaking is normal wear and tear. But it looks pretty bad and is only getting worse over time.

So in summary, I regret buying the Gage chairs and stools, and would definitely not recommend if you have kids. I expect these to last 2-3 years before needing replacement.

Very poor quality ! We bought 6 dining chairs in 2019 and only adults are living here. They started peeling on the stitches in a couple of years and within the last 7 months it’s peeling on seats. It’s considered normal wear & tear according to Arhaus. We regret that we bought these chairs.

We’ve had the Gage dining chairs since 2019 and have had no problems, our kid was a toddler and has grown up with it easy to clean and no stains or wear and tear with regular use

I purchased the gage counter stools about a year ago, along with several other sets of furniture for my house. Fairly normal use. They are great to handle a spills or clean up crumbs, but I'm seeing significant peeling making the sides of the chair look whiteish.

Reached out to Arhaus and they do not stand behind their product as they claim is "normal" wear and tear, which is a shame as I've always considered their products to be high quality, hence the price premium. Not on these stools! you are better off getting something in wayfair.
