It is very pretty, but I am afraid it may not even last a year.  The way it is all stapled at the bottom is very cheap; the material is also pretty, but I think it is going to be prone to snags.  It is small - I am 5'-7-1/2" tall and my feet hang off the end when the footrest part is up.  Another thing is that the back is not straight to begin with, so to just push back to get the footrest part up to sit upright and rest your legs, is not possible.  You are "semi-reclined" and I was trying to read the paper, but was straining my neck so had to raise the paper above my head to be able to read it!  Should have invested more money and gotten a better chair - this was $200.00 and to me, really is not worth it.  I read all the reviews and so many people LOVED it and so many people did not, so I took a chance.  I think I should have passed but not worth trying to box it all up and return it.  Was easy to put together though and I did it myself (plus I'm 67) so pretty easy!
