A friend of mine just had her recliner re-upholstered. She showed me a leftover piece of the "leather". It’s very strange. The leather is very light weight and looks like it is very thin and somehow applied to a thin black foam backing. No kind of hide visible. It has square edges like a piece of cloth fabric and it was rolled up. I’m no expert but I’m concerned about what my friend actually purchased. She said the cost was $50. a yard. Can anyone tell me if my friend purchased leather; if so is it a quality product?
