This chair was not leather. It was plastic. I returned it before completely taking it out of the box.the only reason I gave it two star instead of one was the large size.

Cheap

Cheap pleather. Holes misaligned for assembly. Plastic swivel base. Uncomfortable. Instructions are minimal. Not worth 40 bucks. Return.

I only gave it 4 stars because the instruction were very confusing and took almost 3 hours to assemble. One tip for anyone having difficulties putting chair together is to loosen bolts on the swivel platform before trying to install arms. If all bolts are loosened you can then move the metal tubing and line up the bolts holding the arms on. Also when trying to install the back make sure to find the threaded nubs and make sure there isn't anything preventing the bolt to thread into it. All in all the chairs are nice.

Wonderful accent chairs. Recline nicely. Assembly can take...

Wonderful accent chairs. Recline nicely. Assembly can take some time. Instructions show step one then step two, BUT much easier to do step two THEN step one!

Poor Leather

The base and structure of the chair is ok. It's also comfortable. The leather on the other hand is very cheap. It's not full grain leather. It's more like bonded leather. Will probably last a year or two before it starts peeling. . . It was also very difficult to put together. . . It looks decent and I will keep it, but wish I would've splurged for full grain leather which seem to go for seven to eight hundred dollars. .You get what you pay for in this situation.

Great chair, finally.

Pros: Chair shipment was fast--it arrived 2-3 days after I ordered it with free shipping.

Good Alternative

This chair would be the perfect choice for a small apartment, mobile home, college dorm or small bedroom but if you are looking to replace or add a comfy recliner to curl up by the fire and read a book or sit in to watch a long movie you will be disappointed. It does not offer the padding of a conventional recliner, the seat depth is a bit short, the arm height is a bit too low, it needs a bit more "dump" and it does not recline back far enough to really stretch out in. I would equate it too a really nice office chair or maybe the one you last sat in at the dentist. It is easy to put together, very light weight and seems well made and durable. I like the swivel feature and the price is a bargain for this style chair and well worth the money. This is a terrific chair for what it is - just be sure this is the best answer to your seating needs.
