Nice chair. Very comfortable. I honestly am not crazy about the “pleather” (reminds me of a naugahide sofa my gma had when I was young) but my husband likes it and that is what counts here.  The “wood” surfaces are painted metal and plastic- not actually any wood on this piece. It reclines and is sturdy when you do- I have been in chairs that felt like you were going to tip over but not the case here. Assembly was easy and took less than 15 minutes. Overall a good buy.
