The suede material on this chair feels awesome!!  It's very soft and it doesn't get dirty as quickly as the microfiber recliner we had before this.  The only thing issue we have is that it is not as big as we thought it was going to be.  My husband is 6'2" and the leg rest doesn't stay up because his legs are too long and they weigh it down.  I'm only 5'6", so I'm okay with it.  It's still very comfortable.
