Asked for an estimate for assembly of this chair and a desk bought form Staples and for two other products bought elsewhere still waiting for the quote.
The Faux leather is soft enough for comfort good padding it assembles easily and looks as good as my previous leather chair (spring wore out). I can't comment on durability because I've only had it 3 weeks. I'd buy it again if the same need arose (and assuming not for many years).
The chair is comfortable the assembly is easy because of ease to understand instruction and parts that are separated for each step. I recommend the chair.
