Re: Brand New Classic Leather chair leather panel buckling
That's perfectly normal, in fact the chair looks nicely made. You can only pull a panel (leather) so tight, in fact its one of the hardest jobs there is to do in upholstery - getting those panels tight and then stapled onto the frame. Your two closeups are in too close, I can't get a reference point on them. However, based on what I see I would not consider that to be defective. This is handmade furniture and it will have nuances. If it really bothers you, then wait for a bright sunny day and put the chair outside in the sun so the panel is facing the sun and let it sit out there for three or four hours. Sometimes that will tightened up the panel just a bit.
