Well I'm getting FREE leather furniture from my partents, but I'm worried about my boys scratching it up. Right now there's really on 1 chair they use to scratch & it's the one by the door. I can't turn this furniture down because it's beautiful furniture & I love the couch, not to mention the furniture I have now is older than I am & I'm almost 29. So I need ideas about what works. To some extent I'm hoping that they boys are afrid of the leather like my Smokey was when my parents got it, but I'm not counting on it. I don't have long before I get it (a week or so) so any suggestions would help. Thanks
