I was initially very apprehensive because of previous comments on comfort level, look & feel and overall quality, but was very pleasantly surprised. Set up was relatively straightforward, as well. As a person with a small frame, this chair is the perfect geometry and recline for my body. I did buy a very big cushion to support my back further. It fits perfectly in my small one bedroom in BK, and the overall quality feels genuine and substantial. The faux leather is supple and smooth—again, unexpected! same as the wood lining the chair, and constituting the arms. I would classify the style as more loft/industrial than 'modern' for the color and pattern in the leather cushions. At this price range, I am very content.
