How durable is the microfiber covering? ... I have a faux leather recliner and the arm and headrest began to break down after a couple of years.

We've only had our two recliners since last August, but so far, even with constant daily use, they look lovely.

I have this chair for like 9 months now. Absolutely no issues with the microfiber covering. I pretty much use it every single day. But it does generate a lot of static electricity. Every time I sit on this chair and touch something metallic I get a jolt. Overall build quality is still questionable. Its wood inside, I don't know what kind of wood it is but it doesn't feel very sturdy. I am 5'8'' weighing like 175 lbs.

Pat-Not sure what you are looking for ---but if you spend $600 for a recliner and it has all the bells and lights that you expect and lasts 6 or 8 years then you got your best bang for your buck,but if you buy this recliner for $250 or $300 and it stands up for 3 or 5 years then I think you bought a good chair. Sofar I have had good luck with mine and at times I even sleep in it at night. Who was it that said "you get what you pay for"

Yep. Very similar to microfiber. Or it could be microfiber. Love the chairs.

The frame is really sturdy however the leather has begun to rip on the edges on mine and I believe that is just from repeated use/ a stress point. I would not recommend this chair for comfort or durability, regardless of weight of the user.

hi, I like your post. I just want to know more about "vinyl". We just got our huge sectional recovered with "faux leather".. aka vinyl. since the denim slipcover was old and the couch was still great! Also, my husband has allergies... and leather or vinyl is easier to keep clean. but the smell is terrible!! I had done a lot of research on the feel and look.. but never heard a thing about the health concerns or SMELL!!! I am encouraged by your post.. but still nervous it may not be safe.. and also. wondering if this smell will EVER go away?!!

Yes, it is real leather. Quality is very nice. The recliner does not have the lever on the side and the back is not as high as a regular recliner. (the only thing I don't like) There is a 1 year limited warranty. For further info www.coastercompany.com.

It has not ruined mine but the arms in my chair are made of some type of rubber. I don't know how it will be with leather. It will definitely leave a mark on a leather arm chair.

I haven't used mine for a while (since I lost both grat dane and engliseh mastiff in a 3 week period of time. However Ly Audi leather seats are still in pristine condition. Leather is much more robust than vinyl or velour. Easier to clean, less likely to tear and does't absorb any odour. I use the hammock more to encourage dogs to stya where I want them to stay. Great product, just a bit heavy. Hope this helps.

I have a bonded leather chair. After 5 years the leather scraps are un-bonding. It's as if the chair is shedding scraps of leather with the fabric base showing through. Keep that in mind when you buy a chair with less than a 5 year warranty.

I just purchased this recliner, I am worried about the material on it that it may puncher or tear easy. Just how strong is this material andis it easy to clean? Asked by Theresa T, July 2015

Hi...hope I am of SOME help. Have owned the sofa- love seat for a little over a year. For not being actual leather it is holding up decently, HOWEVER, I do not have children or pets. Don't think it is made for rough-housing. Cushions are holding up well. Use it everyday.

It's quite stiff, which is good for supporting the back. It does work with a recliner, but it takes some getting used to...I have even slept with it in the recliner. As to material, it seems to be a stiff plastic core covered with a kind of lightly-padded foam.

It is "faux leather" or pleather/fake leather. It's probably better than leather durability wise. My old ikea chair is kinda losing part of it's surface... I literally just assembled mine. Loving it. Will have a review video up on youtube soon and a review here on amazon. I'm definitely satisfied :) It may suffer from "sweaty back syndrome" under the right conditions. There are mesh versions of DX racer on their website for about $350. I'm sure amazon has them floating around as well.

I have has my chair for about 6 months and have had no problem with the "leather". I use it 5 days a week in my office.

My couch was pretty cracked, and it covered those up really nicely. I've had to re-apply, but that was after 2 months, and we're sitting on the couch. All in all, a really great fix!

It is not real leather. If you want real leather buy a Stressless recliner. I am happy with it as a secondary chair that I use occasionally. It would be great for kids room, wreck room, that time of thing. If you are going to spend a lot of time, I would buy a used Stresless on ebay. It would cost about $800-900. Real leather, better mechanically.

I haven't had the chair very long, so can't yet vouch for durability. The cover is somewhat thin. Depending on use, you may do better with the corduroy.
