I went to lift the chair seat up and while holding onto the arm the leather arm piece separated from the arm frame. It was attached by a plastic connector which broke inside the leather arm piece. I had it only 1 1/2 months
This chair is fit for a queen! My 180# 90 yr old mom with chronic back pain and diabetes is very comfortable sitting in this chair for 9 hrs a day (excluding bathroom and meal breaks of course). She finds the material supple and soft the cushioning supportive the rocker back relaxing and the all around appearance suiting her bedroom décor. The seat edge style hits just right to alleviate the neuropathy in her feet as well. Though I can't speak for wear and tear as she has only been using it a week it is DEFINITELY a great value especially compared to other similar chairs costing 2-3 times as much. My mom LOVES it but it is so comfortable that it was hard getting the rest of the family to get out of it so she could sit in it!
