Bought this chair from RTB in West Houston in 2011. It all started well, but after recouperating from two surgeries, I began to feel a steel bar across the middle of my back. Very disapointing to say the least. I feel abused. It seems that the traditional perfect chair uses a taught canvas in the back for support so that it always stays smooth and consistent. The irony is that the chair I bought which appeard to have more padding, actually has terrible support. I am 6'1" and 205lbs. The chair now hurts my back.

I have had mine for two and a half years with no issues. I have always kept it covered, because human sweat and leather don't mix well over the long haul. I have sat in it all day sometimes and it is still as comfortable as the day that I bought it. I guarantee that when fully reclined you will be asleep in minutes.

Purchased following shoulder surgery and mechanics worked well for that. Problems: Bonded "leather" doesn't hold up. Feels and reacts more like cheap vinyl.) Head pillow deteriorated after 2 years. Called cust. svc. 1-800-355-2762 (The Human Touch in Long Beach, CA manufacturer) and they will send a new pillow in Feb. 2013 as they are on back order. Seat "leather" also wearing out, as well as the foot area. Poor quality.

Well, unlike the others, I have only had my chair a short period of time, but I look forward each night getting home from work, and relaxing in my chair. It is wonderful! I have a lot of back problems and this has helped tremendously. Hope I have better luck with the armrests and upholstery.

Great for my back BUT the leather is paper thin and after 2 years we will have to throw it away.......
