I'm considering a leather sofa but I'm hesitant about the $2,000-$10,000+ price tag. From what I've been researching, leather is very durable and lasts 15-20+ years. It ages well and supposedly improves with time. The comfort is excellent and it has a luxury feel.

What's making me consider it is the long-term value. I've been reading that while the upfront cost is high, it lasts much longer than fabric. But maintenance is required regular conditioning and cleaning. It can be cold or hot depending on temperature, and it's not pet-friendly. The question is whether the durability justifies the premium price or if I should stick with fabric.

Is a leather sofa actually worth the premium price? Have you owned one? How long do they really last? What's the maintenance like? Is it worth the extra cost or just luxury marketing? How does it compare to high-quality fabric? Would you recommend leather or fabric? What about pets, is it really not pet-friendly? Should I invest in leather or save money with fabric?

I'm thinking about switching to Salt and Stone deodorant because I want something more natural. It's aluminum-free with natural ingredients and baking soda-based. People say it delivers 48-hour coverage and works well for some folks. The texture is smooth, not chalky, and it absorbs without leaving that greasy feeling.

The concern I have is that natural deodorants are hit or miss, they work great for some people and don't work at all for others. I've read that it has a fresh scent that's not basic like typical drugstore brands. But some people mention it leaves residue on clothes even after washing. Plus the effectiveness seems to vary depending on your body chemistry.

Have you actually tried Salt and Stone? Does it really work for 48 hours? What's the scent like, is it actually fresh? Did it leave residue on your clothes? Would you repurchase it? How does it compare to other natural deodorants? What about the price, is it reasonable? Should I make the switch or stick with what I'm using?
