Literally the best furniture purchase ive made in a long time. I L O V E this seat. It has been very durable, easy to clean and is simply beyond cool. I use it in my office/mancave and the entire family loves it. I thought i would not like the bonded leather but took a chance. I have no issue with it now at all. my advice is that if you are on the fence ...BUY. youll find nothing better in this price range and quite honestly higher.

I was wondering the same thing. Been using the seats a lot with no problem. Everyone loves them!

I have sat on it several times. I bought the 85 quart model. I believe it would be durable enough, just remember using anything other than its intended design falls upon you as to warranty issues.

I've had mine for a while and it's held up great. Just be sure to not over tighten the screw on parts and never over load it. Other than that, it's awesome!

I've had it for about 2 months...but if you want me to be honest I have a bigger ass... so mine has maybe went down some but I guess it depends on the person. I'm still happy with it. I mostly like it because it looks like a spaceship type seat to me.

I bought two and have had to re-glue both of them. I don't think it was the weight as much as people moving back and forth while sitting on them. They are not well made. However, I can say someone weighing 200 lbs. sat on it and didn't break it. I've seen them at Garden Ridge & I think Hobby Lobby for the same price. I'd suggest you check it out before buying. Also, the wood on mine was not nice enough to stain, I had to paint them.

The back is holding up well (and so is the seat). We use occasionally for actual sitting (usually with steamer more than with the shower). With the shower, I use almost daily to wash my feet and legs better so have used the hinges a lot. It is as good as when we installed it about 6 months ago. It appears to be teak wood -- wood is the same for seat and back and has held up well. I just saw some other comments about seat and think adding oil or stain sounds like a good idea. But it has held up well without adding oil or stain.

I bought 2 last Christmas. They both have the same fabric seat. Very durable. My kids love theirs.

We do. It takes a bit of a beating but so far doing pretty, pretty well. In a bad windstorm it's blown over and the seat came off, but easily fits back in and no worse for the wear. We have two of them!

We found the chair to be sturdy and very cleanable. I can say that there were some issues with the brakes needing adjusting several times. It was used constantly every day/all day for 6 months and still looked brand new. Hope this helps.

I just read Kyle's answer and was gratified he had answered it completely. I will say one thing, I was rather upset that I didn't get the seat, but somehow managed to get the seat off the old unit. I am still using the old seat. I thought the price of the seat was rather expensive. I was grateful that Amazon had it if I had broken the old one. Further, try to protect the unit if you are having construction done in your facility or home. Doesn't take much to break them.

I got mine off of CL for $200. I didn't pull the trigger when addicted to Amazon got them. I was watching but missed them. The chair is pretty good, I just wish both of my 360 wheels hadn't broken on me.

We haven't received any recall notices or seen any recalls on this one. Our daughter's is the C650, which is the model before this one and it simply had to do with the shoulder strap pads as I remember. This one is the updated version, and I have to say, it does seem just a bit sturdier overall and a little better quality, and that's saying something, because the 650 is a very high quality seat itself. I'll update if I end up getting any recalls on this one, but so far, all's well and no worries.

On a recommendation of a bicycle shop owner, in 2011, I had this seat put on my touring bike and took off for a 4400 mile tour. I rode the rest of the year with this seat (another 5000 mile). In 2012, I rode this seat on a 3400 mile tour, a 1100 mile tour and all recreational riding. In 2013, I rode this seat on a 3800 miles tour and it tore at one of the seams. I immediately replaced it with this same seat. I am still touring and I am so happy with the comfort of this seat, I will never buy another brand or model until I can no longer get this. Like any seat, it take a few rides to reach a maximum comfort level but once you get there, I believe you will be extremely happy.

The seat on mine had a leaking shock that would not hold up. I have it in a back room as i had thrown away the packaging. Very disapointed and still looking for the right chair

I've had the chair since January of this year. I use it often and love it. I've had no issues with wear or tear.

So far so good. The seats spring right back when you get up and they have held their shape. I live alone so i basically use the same one or two chairs and they look the same as the day i put them together. During holidays, birthdays etc my kids and friends come over and everyone likes the look of this set. Stains wipe clean as well. I hope this helps.
