I have now had this chair for close to 1.5 years (bought in Feb 2017). I was super skeptical to buy a recliner off a site like Wayfair, but since I buy most everything online now, I figured Id give it a try. I am definitely not disappointed! The hair has held up VERY well, it looks as described in the product info, and required only minor assembly (I did it myself and I am 120lb female). It is small for a recliner, but I was looking for something smaller bc of limited space. I would definitely recommend! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and they are all wild bc theyre still babies.. this chair has held up despite their abuse!
