Updated chair lasted six months before it began to tear at the seam in the seat I only weigh 140 pounds so it is not abused or heavily used... Chair is as advised and is a comfortable recliner for a great value. Faux leather is very soft and not plastic-like. Easy to assemble. Chair is plush and not overly large. The white color is actually more cream. My only concern is that the chair has a manual pull string to recline the leg lift on the right inside of the seat. Hope it holds.
