I planned to order two chairs, however there were no reviews available at the time on the supplier. So I decided to order one first so that I could check whether or not they sold the product they advertised. I waited for the chair to arrive and noticed it was not worth the trouble. They had shipped one with cushions which were made of a cheap leather imitation, contrary to what they had announced in their ad, as seen below:
"Our chairs are made with strict attention to detail to preserve its original characteristics. Each chair features high grade leather from Italy, which is hand selected, piped, tufted and individually sewn by expert leather craftsmen."
In addition to the above mentioned, they actually reduce the cost of the chairs by skimping on leather material.
A more serious issue is the fact that this supplier advertises its products on Amazon and declares that they are in stock. The truth of the matter is that the supplier receives our purchase orders through Amazon and then orders these chairs from the manufacturer in China. In turn the manufacturer in China ship the chairs straight to our address without even going through the Amazon vendor facilities, which in this case solely acts as a middleman.
To make things worse, the mail receipt that accompanied the chair package declares that the chair was a gift and states its cost as one for $80.00. I am not sure if this procedure complies with importation regulations.
I would recommend you not to bother with unreliable firms or companies. I also recommend that Amazon should
always perform a thorough screen on companies that advertise on your website. Mainly those that deal with imported items and/or products.

I ordered this chair for my son as a birthday gift.The "returns policy" for the manufacturer gave me pause.When I called I was told the item was not returnable because they only accept returns on items over 50 pounds in weight.So we knew we were taking a risk in ordering it.However, the customer service rep told me that my son was within the weight guidelines for the chair.I told her his height and weight.Thechair is sold as a recliner desk chair.However, the leg support only extends as far as beneath the knees of my son -- obviously inadequate as a recliner.So we are stuck with a $300+ purchase which is not satisfactory to the user.Obviously, the lesson we've learned is, don't buy a chair that 1) YOU HAVEN'T SAT IN 2)CAN'T BE RETURNED.We won't repeat these mistakes.If you are over 6 feet tall, don't buy this chair.My son is 6'1" tall and this chair is not suitable for the use it purports to serve.
