" ...  Fantastic chair that’s softer than leather, attractive and quiet. ... It will lift ya up to help you stand if needed and reclines almost flat back. ... Went together easy and is solid.  ...  "

comment
" ...  The fabric looks very sturdy and has a leather-like appearance, although it is cloth.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Assembly is not physically difficult but it helps a lot to have a second person when it comes to lining-up the slots for the back's side-wings, which you have to do more by feel than sight. ... Upholstery really does look and feel like leather and hopefully will last as well. ... Only had chair a short time, so can't comment on durability, but chair appears solidly constructed.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It comes with several parts, to be assembled, so be ready to have someone on hand that can lift it and construct it. ... Other than having to put this chair together, it seems like a well constructed product. ... So, if you have someone who can do the assembly, this chair will most likely please you very much!  ...  "
