I doubt it is real leather. It is a synthetic version that you would have a hard time telling the difference. Flexsteel has something like that. I bought two new captains chairs with that synthetic leather. When I inquired about the durability of the material, he took a sample piece, stretched it out and ran a key down it, trying to scuff it. It held up well. I had those chairs in service for about 5 years, with a Golden Retriever claiming ownership of the passenger side. No issues at all. As for the white color...well, they do clean up well, but it is white after all.
