I was totally against restoring our leather sofa and ready to buy new, but my wife insisted that we at least look into fixing it. We totally trusted Bruce's evaluation of our leather, and it was much less expensive to restore our leather to buy a new sofa. I'm so happy that we tried this route. We can honestly say that our 20-year-old leather sofa now looks like new - in fact, I don't even remember how nice the original color looked, but it perfectly suits our room and our taste in a way that it never seemed to do before.
