Nice looking, sturdy and very easy to assemble. The seat sits a little higher than our old recliners, which my husband likes. I, and my cat, would like if it reclined a little further back at the first lounging position… like maybe one inch, it’s not much but laying back just a little more and raising my legs just as much would be a lot more comfortable for me.  I am still mostly sitting up and my legs are slanted down. So, there isn’t really any lap room either. The next lounging position is all the way back and that is too far when trying to watch tv.
