Bought two of these and yes, they don't look like real leather but very very close. Way lose enough. And the nail heads are a great design extra.  As other reviewers have said, the chairs are deep in the seat and a small pillow in back is all that's needed to fix that.  One of the chairs I got had one leg that was shorter than the others and I was going to send it back, but CS said they'd send another out right away and to not bother returning the deficient chair!  I was shocked, and so here it is, but I don't need a third chair, so I'll donate it an Alzheimer's support group facility.  This was my first purchase at Wayfair and I will buy again.
