But sadly in terms of their durability, PU leather easily wears and can crack over time which means it does not stay long the same with real leather. It easily tears, unlike genuine leather. While faux leather, the laminated surface often cracks after a few years of use but it can at least last a long time.

How do you keep PU leather from cracking?

Keep PU leather product or furniture dry at all times by using an air conditioner and dehumidifier if necessary. Clean every day with water mixed with mild soap - avoid harsh chemicals which may cause damage to the PU leather.

Another cause of faux cracking could be based on the quality of the product.
