This chair and ottoman have been really great.  I was hesitant, since I assumed that quality control might be a problem.  We use this as a reading chair, and we've received many compliments from anyone who has seen it.  It really does look great, and the color is beautiful.  As long as it isn't getting tremendous wear by kids who may jump or drop their weight down hard when sitting - it should last awhile.  Seems pretty durable.
