LOVE these chairs!!! The fabric is polyester but looks like linen and feels like microfiber very soft and I think will be easy to clean. The weight is substantial (60lbs) and the angle of the chair back is perfect for sitting through a movie. Also the depth of the chair seat is long enough for a long legged person to sit comfortably. GREAT buy!!
  There were a few threads left from the upholstery job but nothing to cause me to be disappointed.
