The chair is comfortable and works well so far. HOWEVER, delivery and communication was  not accurate. I was advised that it would be delivered by 8:00pm on a Wednesday so my mom stayed at our house waiting for a delivery that never showed up. The chair was eventually delivered on Thursday and just left on the driveway, with no personal contact to let us know it was being delivered. Again, my mother and my adolescent son were there waiting for the delivery, no door bell, no knock, nothing. Had it rained, this would have been a disaster.   I bought this chair for my mom who  is with us often and needs help getting out of a chair and needs her legs raised. Like I said, so far it is comfortable, but has only been assembled for 1 day and mom isn't with us this week to give her feedback. The fabric is nice and soft and does look like leather from a distance.
