Ya and at 70k it still looks good but I am not sure of the quality will it last long term or should I look into getting true leather

I've seen the suede on my brothers car and it looks real good for being a decade old. It's not until you start having people come in and out and spilling ketchup drinks or a baby spilling milk throwup etc on it will it begin to wear.
