Where these two actually differ
- We flag Flame retardants in fabric and foam, Formaldehyde in adhesives and fabric finishes, Polyurethane foam degradation and microparticle shedding and Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from off-gassing on the Article and not on the Restoration Hardware.
- We flag Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing from foam and adhesives, Formaldehyde emission from particleboard frame components or fabric backing, Leather finish toxicity (chromium, azo dyes, heavy metal pigments) and Stain and soil-resistant chemical treatment (PFAS family) on the Restoration Hardware and not on the Article.
- The Article is fabric upholstery and foam cushioning where the Restoration Hardware is upholstered leather/fabric with wood frame, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
