The bonded leather on my last chair was flaking off badly and looked awful. So I bought this mesh chair thinking that it's cheaper than real leather and cooler to sit on than cushioned seats. However after using the chair awhile I find that it's hard and not as comfortable as padded chairs but a bit more comfortable than a wood chair. I might try to get some kind of padding to put on the seat and back. Also the belt on my pants scrapes loudly on the mesh back when I sit down so I try to sit down in a way to avoid that from happening. I think the chair is constructed well and Its easy to assemble if you follow the instructions carefully.
Very supportive & comfortable chair for the long hours at the kitchen table writing greeting cards. Easy to put together ( I'm 74 female ) Nice & breathable ( not hot ) mesh.
