I really like the color and firmness of this recliner. It took me 15 minutes to put it together. The only disappointment is the recliner itself is not at all power. Only the massage part of is. The recliner is in fact manual. Nevertheless, Im happy with my purchase. The recliner folds all of the way back whenever you are not sitting in it. However when I sit in, the back position will not stay in place. Im 55, 130. It must require a lot of body weight.
