The fabric is soft and very attractive. Comfortable as long as you have a lumbar pillow behind you. Easy to recline. Easy to assemble. The staples do show a bit,  so be aware. Also, the fabric on the back of one of my two chairs is too short to effectively attach to the Velcro on the bottom of the chair; therefore, every time you recline or come back to regular sitting position the fabric becomes unattached from the Velcro. Overall, for the price I can’t complain especially because the chairs are so attractive!
