There is not a lot of lower back support which means that there's nothing to stop you from sliding so far back on the seat that you're almost sitting past the back legs. You can actually feel the shakiness of the situation. It is also very hard to push yourself into the reclining position as there is no side handle. The color is not as shown in the picture. It is dark. There are 2 different types of legs for this chair (front and back) delivery men reversed them in error but, it still wouldn't change the sliding problem. I am doubtful that the covering on the arm rest (where you place your hands) is leather. It seems more like a very very thin vinyl. Resting your feet on the studs of the foot rest is unavoidable and painful. Customer service was great about me returning it. I'll pick something else.
