This is my second  chair that I have purchased. I chose to buy it after having the first chair for over five years. The quality holds up extremely well and is firm and supportive. I am 5'8" tall and it offers great support for lower back as well. The only reason I waited so long to purchase the second chair? Thought I could find a better chair. That didn't happen. So now I have a set of great living room chairs. Don't hesitate. This is a good purchase!!
