Is the Valletta real leather?

Yes. It is upholstered in Italian nappa top-grain leather, which is a higher grade than corrected-grain or bonded leather. The soft nappa finish is more supple but also more prone to marking than protected leathers.

How much room does it need?

It is a deep sectional, with seats around 90 inches deep in the configuration listed, so it needs a large living room. Measure your space and doorways before ordering, because the pieces are bulky.

Can the sectional be reconfigured?

It is a modular design, so the pieces can be rearranged to change the chaise side or layout. Check the specific configuration you order, since left- and right-facing versions are sold separately.

Does it recline or have storage?

No. The Valletta is a fixed sofa with no reclining mechanism or hidden storage. Buyers who want power reclining should look at Valencia's reclining models instead.

How do I care for nappa leather?

Dust regularly and condition the leather a few times a year with a product made for nappa or aniline leather. Keep it out of direct sun and wipe spills promptly, since soft nappa absorbs moisture more readily than protected leather.

Is it good for households with pets or kids?

Nappa leather is soft and can scratch, so it is less forgiving than protected or distressed leathers with claws and sharp toys. It holds up to everyday family use but will show wear sooner.
