This chair is so comfortable!! I read some reviews that weren’t so good, but I took a leap of faith and bought it anyway.  My whole family loves it!! The leather-like material is very soft but thick, so it does not tear easily.  My 75 lb. labradoodle lounges all the time, no rips or tears. The massaging is relaxing and when the heat is on, it’s nap time.  This chair is awesome!!
