Just got the chair, so I can't comment on durability (knock on wood!). But it seems perfect for my needs. The teal color is gorgeous, it's lightweight and easy to move around, and the seat is quite generous, so I can curl up in it with a book and a cat. Super-easy to set up -- just screw in the feet and push the back cushion into the velcro strip. It's more firm/bouncy than soft & plush to sit in.
