All or most rails I have seen (on PCF or elsewhere) use faux leather and I am not sure why. Is faux leather easier to clean? More durable? Is it the price? Why would you choose faux leather over genuine leather?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Oh awesome! I just checked your photos and saw your table. Looks great! How large is it? Is the leather only 1 piece - i.e., no mid stitches? I also saw you have a table cover to transform it to a normal table. I'm thinking of doing the same...how heavy is your top?
It is definitely more expensive! For a 84x42 inch table, and assuming cost is not a problem, would you recommend upgrading from vinyl to leather?Likely price and ease of installation.
Decent quality vinyl is about $30/yard, so under $100 for a table. Depending on the leather, it can be 3x to 8x that price.
Leather is also quite a bit harder to work with than stretchy vinyl. And if you make a mistake with leather, that's quite costly whereas vinyl is more forgiving.
I can usually upholstery an 84x42 inch table with leather without any stitching, but any bigger than that and I have to stitch pieces together and I hate stitches. Just a personal preference though.
Also, when you do a 84 x 42 in table, I assume you use a very large piece of leather and do a center cut out. What do you do with the rest? Thanks!Likely price and ease of installation.

My table is for eight players maximum, so smaller than standard at about 177cm x 98cm (or roughly 70 x 39 in inches). The ratio differs from the usual 2:1 because I wanted to make sure the playing area is wide enough.Oh awesome! I just checked your photos and saw your table. Looks great! How large is it?
