We love this recliner! We were struggling to find a recliner that fit our design aesthetic and wasn't crazy expensive. The quality and construction is solid and it's very comfortable. I wasn't sure about getting the faux leather, but the thickness and quality of the material surprised me. There is some light color variation and texturing that give it some character. I don't think anyone would mistake it for being real leather, but as far as faux leathers go, this is a good one. The recliner was easy to put together and is very comfortable when it's fully upright or reclined. Glad we found this recliner!
