I purchased this chair/foot rest combo roughly 3-months ago at a cost of over $600 each on sale. I bought two assemblies. The chairs were tightly packed within a single carton and as such the vegan leather was stretched in spots by other components and has not yet returned to normal. One footstool has already broken ... splitting in two. 
I love the look of this furniture and appreciate the quality of manufacture but overall I can not recommend any other person buy this product.
