This chair is much better looking than the picture
This chair is much better looking than the picture. It's always difficult to tell from a small picture on a computer screen if the colors will coordinate with the rest of the furniture in my room. At a distance it does look like a warm, rich brown, but it has several shades of brown and black with highlights that are slightly gold and rust... no green or red undertones. I tried to get good close-ups of the upholstery so you can see how many different colors there are. On my screen my photos look like there is some green, but it think it's more a combo of the yellow/gold next to black threads that come out looking like green in a flash picture. It's too dark and gloomy outside this time of year to get a good daylight picture. The chair is actually a little darker and richer looking than the picture which was what I hoped for. It seems like good quality upholstery with a tight weave that should wear well. The pattern and colors will hide spots and spills... but maybe not white cat hair!
I really like the style. It looks like a nice upholstered chair that doesn't scream recliner! I've never liked the looks of recliners and didn't want a recliner in my living room. I broke my arm 8 months ago and had to sleep sitting up in a makeshift nest of pillows in the corner of the couch with feet propped up on the ottoman. It was too soft to be very comfortable or easy to get out of it with a painful right arm. Unfortunately my arm has not healed so I'm due to have surgery in a couple of weeks. Again, I will need to sleep sitting up. The cushion of this recliner is firm enough to to be supportive and it makes it easier to get out of. The back has pretty good lumbar support . There is padding on the footrest which is comfortable for a few hours. I may need a pillow under my knees to sleep through the night. I needed a chair that reclines without a handle (remember...broken right arm... I'm right handed of course) It reclines fairly easily, but getting the footrest down is a little tricky. Need to press down with the legs while pulling forward on the arm. It may prove difficult with an arm in a sling and a sore hip (where the bone graft will be taken from). I'll update this post after I've had to sleep in the recliner for a while.
So far I love this chair and am contemplating buying a second. Good buy for the money.
