I bought this chair for my husband who is a big guy. My breath was taken away when we took the chair out of the box, so beautiful! The fabric is different than I'd imagined, very slick. I wasn't sure if I would like it but have come to really appreciate it. We have cats who also love this chair and their hair wipes right off with a swipe of the fingers and the chair looks pristine. This particular chair is too big for me to sit comfortably in (though smaller models are available), but it's great for a larger/taller person. Also, super easy to assemble.
