Im not sure that I have ever sat in a more comfortable chair. It feels like youre sitting on a firm pillow thats giving you a hug. The measurements, height of arms, height of foot stool, height of each support of the back, have been very well thought out for maximum comfort. The leather is top quality. It feels like kid gloves. My husband assembled them in record time without a single cuss word! He did grab a ratchet from the garage but really, when are the disposable tools youre supplied with ever the easiest course of action. Two years ago we purchased two generic type chairs from the same manufacturer. Dont do it! The comfort and quality could not compair. We thought we were comfortable but now know we were not.
