The entire leather part of this lounge chair is made of top-grain leather imported from Italy. Leather is gotten from top-grade cowhide and manually inspected by QC to ensure maximum quality. The aluminum base bracket of the recliner makes it even stronger and more durable.
Pro Tip: When installing all the screws, screw in all four screws of a component into their respective holes first, leaving all four screws slightly loose. Then, tighten all four screws to their maximum, avoiding fully tightening the first and second screws all the way during installation.
PACKAGING
When purchasing an Imus lounge chair replica it’s important to pay attention to the size. We pride ourselves in our unique sizing by creating a wider version of the regular size. There are two sizes of replicas in the market, from Wayfair, Houzz, Overstock, and all of the other major E-commerce platforms. Regular lounge chairs have a width of 32.7 but our lounge chair is 34.6 inches wide to bring you extra comfort and peak relaxation. Our replica lounge chair is not a “tall version” of the original, it’s unique in other features but, the height is 32.3 inches.

Package Content
Not THAT easy to put together. Except for one or two spots the instructions were very clear. (SKU:ckty319)
Very comfortable and breaking in nicely, and looks fantastic in my home office. Buy with confidence.
Once I got it together it looks great and is nice and comfy and it’s really close to the real thing. (SKU:ckty308)
we love this chair!(SKU:ckty303)
I ordered the tall version of the Sim ash chair with Nappa full grain upholstery in milk white.
First, the positives:
The chair arrived in two boxes and was very well packaged in a way that would make damage during transport extremely unlikely. The upper part of the chair (I never opened second box containing the base) looks for the most part extremely well made. The value for money appears excellent, the wood and leather parts and craftsmanship seem to be of good quality.
Now, the negatives:
Unfortunately, while the ash white back of the chair was true to color and gorgeous, the ‘milk white’ was not so close, it was more of a darker off white. Rather than an off-white, the color is a deep cream/vanilla. This didn’t really match our monochromatic living room decore which prompted me to inquire into an exchange for another chair.
Correspondence was not so bad even with the time difference with China.
I always received a response, even if not immediately and I got very some help in my quest to find an alternative chair that might be a better fit for us.
After reading Jennifer’s review, I decided to exchange the chair for the CKTY308, but then I was informed that if I ordered that particular chair and returned the Sim ashwhite (return fee: $200), I would not be able to return the CKTY308 if it didn’t work out.
I decided to return the chair and the return process took a week. I was informed that someone needed to be home by 2pm on the day of FedEx pick up, so I cleared my whole morning for it. However, that day didn't work out and we rescheduled delivery for Monday as no one was able to be home on Friday.
Overall, it's a great product with high-quality craftsmanship and good value for money. Customer service was good in this scenario, but it could be better. The most important thing is to be careful with the colors on the website and refer to the colors in review photos, which I believe are a more accurate color match. If I had realized this initially, we would have ordered the CKTY308, which I strongly suspect is closer to the shade we wanted. We ended up switching to CTKY308, which is a very nice white leather. All in all, it still looks great in our monochromatic living room.
