   Much lighter in color than description. More mustard than cognac. Could not use.

   Reply from Lesandre Barley:

   Look at how many different versions of cognac leather there are here. This is why we encourage folks to order swatches to ensure ours is a good match to yours. If our Cognac is too light and yellow, you can modify it with Rust, Cinnamon or Tobacco using these instructions. We can be of more help if you email us a picture of the Cognac applied to your leather taken from a short distance away.

   Be extra sure of the color before ordering

   I ordered the cognac color as it matched the closest to our leather chair. But the color is 1 shade too light so my wife and I chose not to use it because we had to pay for a $10-11 dollar shipping fee. That being said, just be super sure before ordering so you don't waste more money for the extra shipping fee charges.

   Lovely purchase

   This was perfect for our stained leather couch from Article (brand). I used 3/4 of a big bottle for the couch and it took one hour. Very easy to apply and dried quickly. I highly recommend! Very pleased!

   Color

   Product seemed good but not a color match for me. Too expensive to return or purchase another.

   So much better! Fast and easy

   I ordered Cognac color based on the color chart. It was much more golden than the color needed. So, I ordered the samples and chose to purchase 1 each of Cinnamon and Chocolate. Followed the directions-cleaned with alcohol first - did the painters tape test. The dye went on very smoothly and dried quickly--It took about an hour to do sectional couch. Very forgiving. The first coat left some swirl marks but they disappeared with the 2nd coat. Glad that there were gloves included as the dye comes out pretty fast! I did not apply the clear as I thought it looked too shiny. I am satisfied with the results. So much better than the faded...More

The final color is solid so it does not match the original that had more variation- and does not look as natural. Not sure I could achieve the natural mottled look unless I could take it outside and use an air sprayer with all 3 colors including the cherry that I also purchased.

   Easy to apply, beautiful, but does wear

   This product was easy to apply, and the result was stunning. My old and very worn burgundy sofa is now cognac colored and looks 10 years newer. It’s receiving so many compliments! On three of the seat cushions, I used many layers of the filler and two patches, and so far those areas are holding up well. After prepping the entire sofa with denatured alcohol and doing the tape test, I put on 3 layers of a 3/1 paint and gloss mixture and finished with a layer of gloss. My only disappointment is that on the areas where someone sits at least once a day, the paint has worn off quite a bit and it’s only been 3 weeks (see photos). Fortunately,...More

   New life for my couch

   My couch is 20 years old but did not want to by a new one yet with small kids who destroy everything. Needed to lighten up the room. 5 coats and 6 hours of hard work later…voila! Could have maybe used one more coat but I couldn’t muster the energy. Looks and feels great.

   I CANNOT believe this product. I got this disgusting sofa off of marketplace. I figured I’d give Rub n Restore a shot. Holy Moly this is the best product I’ve ever used! It brought this sofa back to life! See for yourself

   This stuff is amazing attached are the before and after pictures and it was so easy to do. If you follow the instructions on pamphlet’s and the videos they have online it’s smooth sailing. Loved the product and the fact that I can change the color if I don’t like the outcome is the best part.

   It is an amazing product!

   This stuff is awesome! I didn’t change the color of my chair-I just wanted to make the color match due to fading. It did exactly what I needed it to. Mind blown! It looks brand new!

   Incredible!

   I used a combo of cognac, rust, and honey to re- create a distressed look. My husband can’t believe his chair- good for another 20 years! Lesandra is so helpful and the product videos spot on. So easy just give it a go you won’t be disappointed!
   Congac color results. Collor attained does not match color sample on website.

   The product is top notch, easily applied and made my seat and saddle bags look brand new. However, although the text description of the finish attained is butterscotch, photo images of the Cognac dye on a sofa depicts a darker more chocolate shade. I did not get the darker shade like the photo of the sofa. I got the lighter shade of butterscotch. I have since ordered a second bottle of Tobacco. Lesson learned: Do not trust computer screen/website images, get sample swatches before ordering product.

   Thanks for the good word, Ray. Bear in mind that the calibration of your phone or computer's screen affects color, as does that of your camera. This is why we encourage folks to order swatches or send a sample for matching.

   Works great!!

   I went from an ugly maroon color to the cognac finish and man it looks way better. Only took 3/4 of a 16oz bottle for my small couch. Ordered another 16 oz to get the 3 seater done next!
