Still trying to find my comfortable spot. Have to put a pillow between seat and far leg. If you lean against side the arm rest does not cover towards inside. Feel wood. It said leather but it looks faux leather. Even the Fed Ex shipping was bad.  They delivered to a field next to a house down the street. If I did not need it, I would send it back. Price was cheaper than another I wanted. Will see if it gets better. The swivel is only good thing.
