PALECEK

Hi… I am lucky enough to have several Palecek pieces in my home. They are beautiful and unique and guests always comment on them. I also have their Hudson leather chairs which I have had for 7 years. Mine look brand new with the exception of a chipped leg which I hit with the vacuum cleaner. They are easy to care for and just wipe down with a damp cloth & dust. I was advised not to use Cleaners on them, maybe that’s where others have had problems.
I have friends that used them in a restaurant and they have had for a long time too and they are happy with them. Leather still looks great after years of high use.
I would definitely recommend Palecek furniture and accessories… love them!

Same thing happened to my 6 chairs purchased from House of Values. Do not purchase these. Huge rip off.

I’ve purchased several items from Palecek at their Annual Warehouse Sale. I still have all of them, except a red leather barrel chair (I gave it to my son). It’s been at least 10 years, and still gorgeous; no cracking, peeling, stiffening, etc. Same with a rattan sofa table/​writing desk with «stingray» leather top, two coordinating swivel chairs and a stool with leather seats, and a rattan bookcase. Perhaps there has been a shift in quality since then.

I have exactly the same problem as previously posted with my black leather Palecek Hudson chairs (paid $ 550+ for each). Within 3 years they started peeling, all 8 of them! I have lived with them for years because I cannot afford to replace. Someone suggested I call the company to complain, but they just said it was something I had used to clean them with (no, just wet cloth). They look horrible. I have looked into slipcovering them but they are not standard size so cost more than they are worth. Awful product!

BUYERS BEWARE! *** DO NOT BUY FROM PALECEK ***
Note: If you have purchased leather furniture from Palecek that has deteriorated or peeled, please contact me.
I also bought 8 red leather chairs from these guys (via Abode in Half Moon Bay, CA) and the leather started peeling and deteriorated after a couple of years. We took perfect care (no chemicals, rarely cleaned them, rarely used them, no light, no heat). However, Palecek insists that there is nothing wrong with the chairs and that I must have done something to them.
However, Pasta Moon Restaurant in Half Moon Bay bought the same chairs (~50) and they have the *exact same problem* (go look!). And I see another person here has the same problem.
I complained and they deny it is their fault and suggest that we must have treated them with something or left them in the light. Not true. And, I have other leather furniture that has lasted over 20 years and still looks great.
These guys do not understand customer service and not willing to take responsibility for bad sourcing. Clearly, the leather quality or the tanning process or dyeing process has a major flaw that comes out a few years later, but Palecek is in denial!
They offered to SELL me brown chairs with slip covers to fix the problem.

I have 8 total of these chairs and at least half of them are deteriorating. The leather is cracking and peeling, especially in the seat. The frame on one of them also recently broke (the back separated from the rest of the frame). At $ 500 or so each, Instead of replacing them to go with the others in the set, I unfortunately think it may be better to sell the extras and buy 8 new chairs of another brand. This is really too bad, as they are gorgeous chairs.

I got a leather folding captain’s deck chair as a gift over 7 years ago and it is still as sturdy as can be and it is is gorgeous!
It has many uses for my eclectic life, it has a versatile look that can be used in steam punk and renaissance faires… as well as my home.
It has held up with pets, chubby owners and kids.
I would recommend their products to anyone.

Palecek chairs are terrible. The only thing worse is their so-​called customer service; I purchased 4 of their chairs paid a premium for the supposed quality. They completely fell apart! They would not stand behind their product. After many months, dozens of email and phone calls, I finally did reach the President an Allan Palecek. This guy is clueless but after dealing with these clowns this was no surprise. My advice, if you see the name Palecek run the other
