If I had paid $250 for this chair I would be satisfied, even though it is very comfortable and seems sturdy, it has the back flap which I believe looks cheap.  The bonded leather is just a mite better than vinyl.  I purchased two and planned on returning both but my husband discarded the shipping cartons before I was able to do so...I will use in our bonus room which is exclusive for teen agers and is used like a dorm.
