I must say we really like our chairs, my husband loves them. However, be careful of the wording in an ad. I purchased the Seatcraft Venetian Leather Gel chairs. They are definitely not genuine leather. My husband and I sit in our chairs about once a week, there are no children or pets in our home. I bought my chairs 1 year ago and already the fabric of the chair is wearing out. Real leather chairs wouldn't wear out that soon. I must say we really like the electric chairs we bought for functionality, but the material isn't what I wanted, I should have read the ad more closely.
