Yes it was horrible stuff, also never seen anything like it,almost like a type of rubber,very weird stuff, had been re upholstered.
And also had trouble removing,ink,and stains,which normally come out very easily,rust marks were the worst I have ever seen, streaks from the staples made it look terrible.No idea why they didn't call the last guy who did it and get him to pay for the damage he caused to it,by soaking it...
