15 Faux Leather Sofas That Look Just as Good as the Real Thing

Love the look of leather but not the price tag? Faux leather — also known as vegan leather — is your answer. But beware: There's nothing worse than a cheap-looking, plastic-feeling faux leather sofa. To help you avoid this when purchasing online, we've compiled a list of shopping tips in addition to 15 affordable sofas that look just as good as the real thing.

• It's nearly always more affordable than the real thing.
• It's much easier to clean. Faux leather is often stain- and water-resistant and can be wiped off with a soft cloth.
• It's vegan and better for the environment.
• It doesn't crack or scratch as easily as real leather does.
• It can be made in virtually any color.

• The biggest tip for buying faux leather online — or anything for that matter — is reading the reviews.
