Hide Your Floors
Leather flooring is one of the most luxurious and decadent flooring imaginable. Walk bare-foot and the surface immediately adjusts to your body temperature. It feels warm in the winter and cool in the summer. It also, never loses that wonderful, pleasing leather scent. Over time, the increased wear creates the appearance of rich patina, or the look that gives leather its unique character.
Leather tiles are available in a myriad of earthy colors as well as custom shades, inlay, laser engraving and embossing. They are approximately 1/8" thick and come in all sizes. Go for the standard 12"x12", 24"x24" or go for decorative borders, inserts, herringbone patters or custom layouts. Design choices are limited only by your imagination.
In addition to flooring, leather makes a luxurious covering for wall paneling or even crown molding. The styles range from traditional and sophisticated, to modern and contemporary.
Leather tiles work well in most areas of the house, adding a rich and inviting feel to a dining room or living room. They create a warm and relaxing atmosphere in a sitting room or library, and work well in media rooms because leather is great for sound control. The comfort of walking barefoot on these floors makes it a popular choice for the bedroom. Installation in the kitchen or bathroom is not suggested, due to the large amount of moisture, and harsh cleaners the tiles would be subjected to.
Maintenance
When first installed, the tiles require an initial coating of paste wax followed by two or three coats of bowling alley wax. Its very important to apply the paste wax first or you may get a white haze on the leather. Subsequent tile maintenance is fairly easy; consisting of a regular dry dust mopping and intermittent damp mopping for general cleaning. Spills should be wiped up immediately to avoid any build of moisture for an extended period of time.
Things to avoid
Never wax leather wall tiles.
Refrain from using abrasive cleaners, soap, furniture polish, varnish, solvent, ammonia products, or wax containing a high concentration of Carnauba.
Never place rubber backed or non-ventilated rugs, rug padding or mats on top of the leather.
Exposing the tiles to direct sunlight for extended periods of time may cause fading or color variations.
Installation
Leather tiles can be glued to any wood or concrete surface. Painted or treated floors need to be sanded or roughed up prior to installation to ensure the glue will adhere to the surface. Floors need to be clean, level, with any cracks filled and sanded. Just one grain of sand will surface under the tile, making it appear larger.
The glue should be a non-flammable water based adhesive applied to both the back of the tile and the floor. Once it has dried to the touch, it can be pressed in place. Leather tiles are prone to curling and shrinkage, so its imperative the tiles are stuck extremely tight.

I love this box - we’ve had loads of storage boxes for garden cushions and this is the only one that is big enough to keep them all together in one place. Took about an hour to build -)

It’s easy to assemble and looks good in our garden. However the cushions are poor quality and after little use are already losing their firmness and shape

Chuffed with this. Much sturdier than I expected and pretty simple to put together. Took me less than an hour on my own.

Great space saving greenhouse for a budget. With covid 19 and the children being home schooled this was just the ticket to do some work in the garden.

They are very well made for the price ... keep in mind that they are affordable and not made to be passed down through generations.. They dressed up my otherwise dull dining room chairs and table with the added bonus that we can take them out by the pool if so inclined. They are even comfortable! I am not expecting them to last forever but know that I will get my money's worth out of them.

These are very cute and exactly as pictured though they are TINY. I don't even have a plant that will fit in here. Just keep that in mind when buying them. Otherwise, they seem well made.

These are so elegant and love they are faux wicker with faux bamboo. I needed to buy these for a client's doctor's office so they need to stand up to all ages, weather and needs and this nails it on the head. Thank you I highly recommend these dining chairs and they are stackable!

Beautiful pot. Much bigger than I thought but that is a good thing. I am using it indoors and couldn’t be happier. Another amazing product from www.boisecloggers.com.

This is a great swing for a small-ish outdoor space! I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the wood is (some reviews mentioned it not being smooth, but it is, and the stain on mine was pretty even. A few boards were scuffed but nothing bad.) Assembly was about what you’d expect - not too bad, directions are decent but like another review said, pay very close attention to which screws are which because they’re very close in size. I worried this wouldn’t weather well so I coated it with a full spray can of polyurethane. We’ll see. Really nice for the value!

We bought the pillows for our patio furniture first, then had to find a bin to store them. Perfect size for our needs. We selected this one also because it was not that ugly putty color that we see so often; this will be less conspicuous in our setting. This one had been out of stock, but I'm glad I waited for it to become available again. Came back on daily sale in wayfair, so I snapped it up. Speaking of snapping, I should mention that it was super-easy to assemble.

They were a bit small for the space I wanted to put them in but because I ordered 2 sets it worked out. They are of good quality and all the installation materials came with them.

Really like this pot as it has a smaller insert tub that can be filled so you do not have to fill the full length of the pot with soil.

I'm so satisfied with this product that I had to write a review. The material is very sturdy and it was extremely easy to put together. It took me less than 5 minutes. It looks so much better than other ugly patio storage cases. I'm using it to keep my gardening supplies ( soil, gloves, tools, shoes) and still have plenty of space.

Brilliant storage and bench. Struggle to put all our shoes away but great for the ones we tend to use more frequently. Bench is brilliant for the kids to put their shoes on. Not too high for our 3 and 7 year old.

Very nice, small and practical for a small entry way into our home. Has charm and appeal. Have received many compliments on the pair that we bought. Metal legs and arms look like wood/rattan.
