Hi bro to my knowledge, genuine leather should not peel or flake after 2years.. The reason why FC sofa peel or flake is they dun use real cowhide or even splitleather.. From what i understand is they are using bonded leather from China..
Never trust ID when u recommend u where to shop.. They will ask the shop to cover them in terms of commission if they bring customers to them.. Naturally the respective shop have to inflat their selling price so as to cover the ID!!!! They work just like tour guides!!!
