Oh I absolutely love this chair! The faux leather has a brushed feel to it that makes it very luxurious. I cannot judge longevity of this chair because I just received it. However, my purpose for it is to use in a sunroom as an accent chair but I was in desperate need of one that swiveled. It absolutely fit the bill and the depth of this chair makes it ideal for a pillow to be propped in the back for added comfort.
