This recliner is sooo comfortable, I was a little nervous about buying something that I didn't get to try in store first, but I am very happy with my purchase.  The chair is very soft and the big cushions on the back rest compress easily, I feel like I just sink into this chair.  Construction is sturdy and good quality, the leg rest is not sloppy, it is firm and sturdy when extended.  Very happy with my purchase!
