I'm only giving this item 4 stars as the fabric quality could  be better. I am happy with the purchase, but don't see this one living the 8+ years the one I am replacing it with has lasted. Very lightweight. Keep in mind that the foot stands are made of plastic, and not of wood. Not a deal breaker, but something to keep in mind. If I had felt and seen this item in a store, I would have passed it by because of the fabric quality. As I don't have kids or pets, I will make it work for me.
