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.

mine is scratched up and worn out in less than a year...I really wish they would make this with a plastic adult seat. I complained and they sent another, but same thing. I even used gentle baby shampoo to see if it was the lysol wipes I was using causing the problem. I love the function of the seat. It's the BEST. But replacing them after not even a year of use, is not great.

I've been using mine for the 2nd year now & it's just as good as the day I bought it. The mesh basket at the bottom is still holding up well & it gets used a lot. I haven't had any problems what so ever. I would definitely recommend this chair to anyone. The only complaint I have with it is if you are reaching forward for something it has a tendency to tip forward but after you are aware of this, it's really no big deal!

not usaa good, really good seat has 4 bumpers under the seat and actually has 4 bumpers under the lidI have looked at a ton of seats that are claimed oak or wood but majority are a pressed wood which will not last for a long time and so many of the others did not have enough bumpersif you find usa made let me knowhope this helped

The seat is some sort of produced wood with no seams! The old one I had which was much more $$$, had several seams and not as attractive. For the price, this one is worth buying. Of course there's another selling for about $80 and if you like spending $$$, go for that. Otherwise, enjoy the good looks of this seat and its nice finish (especially if your butt is on it).

I am using this for more than 6 months and it is still OK. I can not answer this question exactly but it is more durable than it seems. 3 or 4 average people sat on it for few times and it is OK. I hope this has helped you.

I have had mine for a year. So far it holds up fine. The lumbar supports help a lot in an area that does tend to blow out over time.

I've had it for about 1/2 year and it's still comfy and working fine. I don't see this chair breaking down anytime soon. No wear and tears. I use it in my home and sit in it for hours everyday. I can spin around fast still! If you're into that kind of stuff...

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.

Hey sorry I haven't been cheking my emails lately. The chair itself is durable, just make sure you tighten those screws. As for using the chair outside where there is water, personally I won't do that. I bought this chair for aesthetic reasons for a mid century home in Palm Springs. Again, I cannot tell whether this is durable outside, but for inside use, it is not bad at all.

i have had it in the passanger seat of my wrangler while off roading, and it has slamed back and forth, down to the floor boards, and i have dropped it from my hiker pack and its pretty flawless. Although i have the powder coated black one and i believe that helps with the durability. My friend has the 40 oz. and his dented on the bottom after dropping it from about 3 to 4 feet. From my experience its very durable. My only recommendation is to get the straw lid. The plastic neck holder snapped in the middle not even 3 months in. Hope this helps!

I think its great, I got it as a christmas present last year from my husband. Nothing wrong with it so far. Hasn't even torn or worn out. Foot pump is great too! For the price I would def. recommend it. I do hair out of my house so I wasn't looking to spend a fortune on a chair.

Does it last a long time? -- I'm 6'4"/260 and use it daily in my home-based office and after 8 months it's starting to give out. I'll guess that I'll either give it away or put it out for the trash by it's 1 year anniversary....Is it sturdy? -- Initially, yes - now, the arms have come loose and the piston is failing (so the seat sinks and rocks side-to-side).Does it lean back? -- yes, the entire seat and back will lean back comfortably.

Yes the toilet seat is durable. I love the seat. I get a lot of compliments from family and guest. Nice color and pattern.

I'm curious too. I was researching this seat at various forums and it looks like the price once dropped to $199.

I would say its not VERY durable, but its ok.. Have had the chairs a couple of months now.. with a wild 5 year old climbing on them daily.. the biggest issue i see is that the veneer on them is very thin, and if you bang the wood against the counter top at all it will chip in small spots.. for me its not that big of a deal because it can be touched up.. but its still very thin veneer that is being used here.. the rest of the stool seems pretty sturdy.

Livestrong sent us a new seat very quickly when ours started coming apart. It is a known issue. I was also very happy that I did not have to send back the defective seat. Warranty is one year.
