American Leather - article about American Leather

Leather is one of my favorite materials, and so I really can't get enough of it. I have an american leather jacket which I practically live in. It is heavy, and fairly soft and one of the most comforting things I own. My shoes are also made of American leather – a tan rawhide that only seems to look more appealing as it soaks in the dust from the long roads that I walk. And of course, my wallet is American leather – not made in China, but a high quality product from right here in the USA. But nothing can beat the comfor and quality of my American leather sofa.

And then there is the leather recliner we found the other day – on the street of all places. I don't really know if it is American leather, but I think that it is because of the high quality and the classic design. Someone threw out this perfectly good American leather recliner because of one little problem – the foot rest is damaged. What kind of a reason is that to throw out a perfectly good, extremely comfortable sofa? I mean the leather is soft and padded against your back, it reclines for even greater comfort. Some people are so spoiled to get rid of good American leather when they could so much more easily just fix it themselves.

But that just shows you that some people don't appreciate a good thing. When something comes to easily to you, be it an American leather sofa, or anything at all, it is easy to become complacent and feel entitled to it, but this is of course always a great mistake. There is no better way to lose track of how to enjoy your life than by merely taking it for granted. Then it doesn't matter what you have or don't – it will all seem equally boring and unimportant to you.

I have an American Leather chair. It cost several thousand dollars. The footrest metal mechanism broke, just cracked. It is 6 years old. It is 250.00 for a new part. I have tried for a month to get someone to help me. with no luck. Quality steel parts should last a lifetime. Customer service for a chair this costly should be immediate and wonderful. Sadly, it is not. I would think twice before buying from this company. It is difficult to contact them, only the "dealer" can order parts...a nightmare of paperwork, unreturned calls and what amounts to a poor quality product in the end. I have had 500 dollar Lane recliners that lasted longer.
