raven, I don't believe it would have been cleaned or conditioned yet, as it's quite new. We'd decided to get leather for our next furniture, but hadn't budgeted it yet, when an amazing offer came up. A friend's (wealthy) friend, wanted to move back home (overseas) but didn't want the hassle of listing and selling all their furnishings. She was giving away everything FREE, to anyone who could use it. Of course, we were thrilled to get a lovely leather set, that is in excellent condition I slip on my DD's sofas as well, but just realized that my DS has a leather sofa too. I never slide on his, and apparently it's Nubuck leather. It's very comfortable also, but provides more traction. My leather set obviously can't be returned to a store to buy a more suitable set. But maybe I can buy a piece of Nubuck leather to just put under me, when I sit. If I put it top side down, so that it won't slide on the leather sofa, perhaps I won't slide from the Nubuck piece, lol!

Try uploading a photo with a piece of white paper to help color balance. If that's not possible, match a paint sample chip to the leather color, then give brand and paint color name.

I don't see why not. Or more accurately I am finishing up my living room with the help of a designer and after much deliberation selected two occasional chairs in blue leather to complement my sofa and vintage carved wood armchair. I selected leather deliberately because I needed a *fabric* that would work with the existing upholstered sofar and chair. My sofa is a solid blue mohair velvet and the chair is a pattern with complementary blue tones. Solid fabric wouldn't work and neither would pattern. The leather I chose is perfect because the leather doesn't "clash" with the existing sold sofa and the specific shade of blue works because it picks up the lighter gradations of blue in the sofa when the light hits it. Leather comes in so many different colors. It is only in showrooms that choices are brown, black, cream and the occasional *wild* navy blue. Even the particular softer blue I wanted had four different subtle variations. I was able to lay them all out on the sofa and pick the one that worked best with the sofa.
