I like this chair it's super comfortable, but firm enough to still look more polished than average recliners. I would give it five stars but it doesn't feel completely sturdy on the sides. I'm 5'4" and some features don't work as well for me; fully reclining into the laying down position,  my partner gets it into with ease,  is challenging for me. Getting the footrest to click back into its position after I've been reclining is difficult. My partner who is 5'10" doesn't have this problem. So you'll have to judge what's best for your home. But for it's price and it's look I think it's worth it, watching television in this chair with a blanket is a dream. It's a nice looking chair. The gray has a touch of a taupe mix, still next to my gray couch it looks gray. I like it.
