We wanted a sofa with just two seats, that can be reclined individually (with no non-reclining seat in the middle).  We got the power reclining option in the gray color.  I have to say it looks better in person, it is a medium-to-darker gray and looks like leather (it's actually some kind of microfiber).  It does pick up cat hair fairly easily due to the slightly tacky-feeling material.   They don't mention this in the literature, but it reclines by first extending the legs, then the seat slides forward, finally the back reclines.  There is no option to just lie back with the legs still down.  Also, I think this unit was made for really large people.  We just wanted a lot of "personal space" so this works for us.  You do have to be careful when reaching for the automatic recline button, if your arm is in the side crack, you can get pinched.  But on the plus side, it's VERY solidly made and seems like it will last a very long time.
