I’ve only had this for a week or so, so can’t speak to it’s durability over time but it looks beautiful and feels very sturdy. Most important, it is SO COMFORTABLE. I work from home about once a week so can attest that even after sitting in it for most of the day it feels great, even better than the chairs at my office. As other reviewers mentioned, getting it together was a bit of a pain just because the padded sections needed to be held tightly against each other to get the screw holes perfectly aligned to properly screw in the screws.
