After reading all the reviews, we were surprised at how only marginally comfortable the chair is.  Very stiff stuffing.  Also, if you are at all "voluptuous" this chair will be a snug fit.  The "leather" is fair, but doesn't look like it will be any more resilient than the chair this chair was suppose to replace.  The old chair model is much more comfortable and easier to use (no handle to recline)....maybe we'll just have the old chair reupholstered?  Over all - not impressed :(
