I know this isn’t much of a photo of the chair, but I am so comfortable that I refuse to get up and take a proper pic. I’m a 60ish, disabled lady and I managed to put it together all by myself. That means it was easy! This chair has just the right cushioning and firmness for my tastes. I read some of the reviews that complained about the sturdiness of the construction. I don’t know about longevity but, at least initially, my chair seems study and comfortable.
