Not correct. The top grain is the very top with the hair removed and shows imperfections on the natural hide and is the most prized. Split leather is the 2nd and 3rd layers that are more flexible but can tear easier and lacks a natural sheen and is treated to make it more durable. Bonded leather is made from scraps and shavings from the bottom split mixed with man made fibers and glues and then glued to vynle. That "split leather sofa" you referred to is actually split leather (not top grain leather" on the seats, backs, and arm rests but is bonded leather or vinyl on the backs and sides.
That is not a true statement about the that Ekornes swatch leather dyed all the way through, means it is a full aniline. Full aniline dyed does not mean that. Most quality upholstery leathers are dyed initially with aniline dyes in vats or drums. The word " Aniline dyed" means a natural dyed leather with out the presence of pigments or top coats...just a stained leather. Those Ekornes swatches you are showing are a pigment or semi aniline leather, not a full aniline or pure aniline. Bonded is not leather in any way, it was used as a backing for vinyl which is a plastic. You rarely get three cuts from a hide depth wise so the explanation about where bonded comes from is not correct, except it is ground up leather and bonds with a glue and a artificial substrate. Your explanation for pebbled finish and oiled is bizarre, not sure what you are talking about there.
cant even buy full top grain leather in my town, but I wont buy it if it has any split or fake vinyl crap anywhere on it, had to spent 7 grand out of town just to find a decent sofa that will hopefully last longer than that fake junk they make most furniture with now days

I wonder why the Stressless Cori Caramel color is light on the back? All the other colors in the grade have the the colored backs.

I prefer leather because of the cleaning factor.
