I wanted a recliner that wasn't 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: It's 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. It's comfortable, but I've yet to wake up in it with a book on my lap, freezing and disoriented, like I frequently did in its LazyBoy style predecessor; thus I count the inability to induce bookworm coma a positive since it's 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. It's sturdy, it's elegant, I love it.
Only positive things to say about this recliner
