Its definitely a cheaply made chair. The front cushion comes up when I sit on it ( I'm only 125lbs) Weve had it few months now and one of the tacks is coming out leaving a sharp edge on the side arm. I'm the only one who sits in it. The color is lovely and the size is just what I wanted, but it's not scotchgauded and the material feels thin and cheap. 
Love the look but the quality isnt there.
