I wanted a recliner that wasnt room/sized or a visual affront. I got so much more. First, it arrived sooner than expected / definite plus. Next, I was able to assemble by myself and never lost patience, sanity, or blood. The rest: Its gorgeous. I look at it and want to touch the upholstery. It looks so un/cheap. The wood base is lousterus and graceful. I love polishing it and must guard against doing so obsessively. Its comfortable, but Ive yet to wake up in it with a book on my lap, freezing and disoriented, like I frequently did in its LyBoy style predecessor; thus I count the inability to induce bookworm coma a positive since its easier to get up and turn off the light then go to bed than it is to say yes to release and shut your eyes, only to snap back to consciousness like Cinderella at 12:01 a.m. Condensed version: comfortable, but not TOO comfortable. It brings quiet class to the corner of the room in which it resides. It beckons. But not to my dog like its carpet/like upholstery did. Neither does its leather sing a siren song of claw destruction like the old one did. Its sturdy, its elegant, I love it. Excellent for what I need
Only positive things to say about this recliner
