Ok, so it's not real leather, but the faux leather they used matched my genuine leather couch so closely that it looks like a genuine accessory from La Z Boy.   It's also very comfortable and light enough to move from room to room (I bought it for my man cave, but it ends up upstairs and used by the little ones in my house a lot).  
Now it doesn't matter to me, but I figured I'd just include it as part of the description, it is 5 sided, not 6. Meaning the bottom side is designed to be used on the floor and is black fabric.   Despite it being light enough to move around from room to room as I described it's also very sturdy, as I'm 250lbs and it didn't feel fragile under me when I sat on it.  So if you're using it for what it's intended it should last a long time and look great too.
