I purchased a pair in red. We’ve had them for over a year now and they have held up very well to every day use. There is no sign of wear on the leather. They were hard to recline at first but that improved with time. The only reason I pulled back a star is because when fully reclined my husband has to use a pillow or his head doesn’t fit on the chair. I am 5’6” and I just fit but he is 5’11”.
