6 or 7 years ago we purchased a Palliser recliner / glider. I can’t recall the exact price but in the $1300 plus tax range. We thought we were investing in a chair that would last for a couple decades. Most gliders / recliners from big box stores at the time were less than half the price.
Turns out not only has this happened to us, but it’s happening to a ton of purchasers that bought Palliser furniture. I know of one other person who bought one a year before us…and their situation is even worse. Our local retailer has said they’ve pretty much stopped selling Palliser because of so many customer complaints.
The Palliser website and brand is all about quality. But just be careful. They don’t seem to be holding up like advertised. Their leather warranty is 5 years. The peeling seems to start immediately after the warranty is over.
I contacted them and I’m essentially SOL.
Where is Palliser furniture manufactured?
Does Palliser use top grain leather?
Is Palliser leather real leather?

No, not a political post, haha!
TL;DR: Palliser VS La-Z-Boy for a power leather reclining sectional?
We are thinking about replacing our family room furniture this winter now that we are home all. the. time.
We bought a Palliser leather sectional about a dozen years ago that has held up very well and is now in our basement. It was the upgraded leather and it has not faded or shown much wear even with kids and large dogs and well, life.
Now that we have aged a bit, what we once thought was ugly is now attractive - recliners, higher seats, high backs.
So my question is: how would compare the quality of Palliser reclining sectionals to those from La-Z-boy?
We are about to pull the trigger on a Palliser Leighton sofa with the semi - aniline leather upgrade. ? I will either add a ZG6 zero gravity chair the matching recliner to the purchase as well. For those who have experience with Palliser, is the furniture holding up well?
I am torn between paying for leather all around versus vinyl match on the back/sides. Does vinyl match have the same peeling issues of bonded leather?
Update: Purchased a Palliser Leighton reclining sofa with power articulating headrest and lumbar along with a ZG6 zero gravity chair. Opted to do both pieces in 3000 grade parlour semi-aniline leather all around. Looking forward to delivery in 6-8 weeks.
