We are not really leather furniture people, and we are DEFINITELY not really faux leather furniture people, but we needed a slim profile recliner for our living room, and this was one of the few options. What an amazing surprise that this has become everyone's favorite piece of furniture! It's beautiful and (shockingly) super comfortable -- others have noted it's not really a "sleeping" recliner, but we've definitely dozed off in it more than once. Highly recommended!
