Some people don't like them, but everyone's rear is different. Others say the quality has gone down in recent years, mainly that the leather has gotten thinner, but in my experience, even if that's true, the quality is still very nice. My recommendation is buy from a place with a good return policy--if you don't like it, return it and try another. Even if you can't return it, you can probably sell it on craigslist and only lose 10% or 20% of what you paid, so it's not a big risk.
