The chair just recently arrived, so I cannot speak to the longevity of it years down the road. But I'm very happy with it. It's very comfortable right away - not the sort of item that you hope will "break in" over time and but you know in your gut it probably won't ever be super comfortable. Not the ! The first night we had it I spent hours in it reading and working on my laptop without any discomfort or fatigue. The only slight complaint I have is that the back cushion is slightly awkward. The bottom of it doesn't seem to join the chair very well, so it has a bit of a bulky, clumsy look. Because of this it doesn't seem to quite 'come together' cohesively. But that's a pretty minor complaint for a mystery piece of furniture.
