Leather Furniture





Leather is used in many unique ways in making sofas, chairs and bar stools. Many times inferior grades of leather are used and in time they will crack and pull apart. Leather should be thick, soft. Here are a few samples of what can be done by combing different kinds of leather, in different colors and patters. A sofa of this quality is expensive but so much better than "Jerome's" quality.

All of this leather furniture is made in Mexico. You can reach us at: lamisionmuebles@hotmail.com for further information

Mesquite




What does mesquite really look like and how can I know that what I am buying is really mesquite. Many furniture companies claim that the furniture that they have is made of mesquite but it is really easy to tell if it is mesquite. First of all very few places in Mexico are licensed to use mesquite in crafting furniture. If you are one of the lucky people to have found a source for real mesquite furniture you are most fortunate.

One of the ways of identify this wood is by seeing the grain and color of the wood. Many times a dark stain is used to hide and conceal the grain of the wood. In this blog you will see the wood that was used to hand-craft the dining table and then see photos of the colors and grains of the wood. People need to be careful that they are getting real mesquite.
