    Yes - post your new pieces so we can see! Unfortunately the inevitable already occurred and my toddler aged daughter got some (thank GOODNESS) washable marker on it, only a slight line still showing but Duane reassured me it will probably come out over time. I was only a little distraught (understatement). No more markers allowed in that room! (Famous last words)

    Patience is the key to stains on leather. Don't overwork the spots with cleaners and scrubbing, give them time to work themselves out which aniline dyes will naturally do. Light, pure soap on a damp rag is good (not wet, do not saturate) then leave it be for a bit. Come back in a week or so and try that again. Folks get in trouble with leather stains when they try to correct them RIGHT NOW and get an arsenal of cleaners after a spot - and that can cause more harm than good.

    Permanent (not washable) markers are something you don't want around leather because that is a dye transfer and they never come out.

    Did you ever get to see a piece in that leather before you ordered it. It ts so beautiful and different, but I don't know if I would have been that brave without seeing a piece before I ordered it. I'll bet you were thrilled once it arrived.

    Thank you! I do love it and it still looks perfect a year and half & cross-country move later. Yes, I did order a swatch to approve. I'm very glad went with the brighter, warmer color.
