Looks just like the picture. While you can tell it's not real leather it looks and feels nice. It feels well built as well. It was also packed well for shipment. Overall I'm happy with the purchase. My only complaint is that I wish the back and the leg rest were slightly taller/longer. I'm 6'5", so I'd probably have that complaint with any chair like this. I can still sit comfortably both upright and reclined.
