Mustang, I've been researching leather because I'm overdue for a new sofa and have a dog. I think it depends on the quality of leather and you can upgrade the leather in most brands. When I make my purchase, probably in Feb., I will choose a leather that is thick and a little rustic looking so scratches will not show. The leather should be dyed through so most scratches can be wiped off. I've also heard you can get some type of insurance, but I haven't looked into that.

As for the brands, I've only looked at Arhaus, The Sofa Express and Ethan Allen. Before I purchase I will look at other brands.
