SAME! Couch “leather” has disintegrated. Don’t bother trying to use your fabric protection insurance. They will not cover it. I am currently in talks with our dealer about getting ours reupholstered. We considered getting a replacement from the manufacturer because they said they could possibly give us a discount. But then I thought, do I really want another one that will likely do the exact same thing in another 3 years?

The product is called "bonded leather" (ground up leather glued to a fabric substrate) and it is used industry wide until you get into the $200K custom coach range. Exposure to UV and body oils or chemicals are it's worst enemy. Peeling after a few years is common. That said, our 2016 Reflection had zero peeling when we sold it after 4-1/2 years, but we didn't let the sun shine on the furniture and made sure we showered before sitting if we had used sunscreen or insect repellent.
