This chair is extremely poor quality for its price, and we bought it on sale. The mechanism which controls the "reclining" back failed within 11 days of usage (in a fixed upright position as seen in the photos), and what we discovered upon trying to fix it was even more telling. We thought we could just readjust the latch so it would catch again, but we shortly found out that it had simply snapped. While there is a zipper on the underside of the chair, the cover isn't removable or washable since the foam cushioning is sewn directly to it and woven throughout the flimsy frame. Additionally, the zipper was installed inside out, making getting it undone in the first place quite a feat.
