Furniture Suggestions

I'm also interested to know. We have a microfiber set that is maybe 7 or 8 years old. Once upon a time it was beautiful. It does NOT hold up well to drool. I have to scrub to get those slug-track-like drool marks out and nails also leave scratch marks. I think there are different kinds of microfiber though because my parents have a set that has a more plush texture and it hold up very well to their chocolate lab. HOWEVER, he doesn't bounce all over the furniture like my girl does haha. Our microfiber has a more suede-like feel, so if you do go for microfiber, I's steer clear from that kind and go for the plush kind. Also, Scotch Guard!

I second that. We also have one that is more suede-like and it looks pretty worn out and stained. My friend has one that is more plush like and it still looks very nice - however she doesn't have a boxer she has a boston terrier.

I'm on my second set of leather furniture and don't think I'll ever go back to fabric. Easy to clean and even when it does starts to wear, it still looks good. Stay away from the 'buttery soft' stuff, though. It won't handle the nails as well. And my first set was cream...still easy to clean, just needed it a lot more often.

When we moved two our new house last year we bought a leather set that is indeed holding up very nice. We still have our old microfiber couch in a different room, it might not look too pretty anymore, but is soooo comfortable (more than leather in my opinion). And the dogs like it better, too.

I'm not a fan of leather furniture but we've had ours for almost 9 years and 2 boxers later it still looks good. We still keep blankets on when we don't company. It's easy to take the blankets off and do a quick wipe down when we do!
