I’m impressed with how comfortable these are and how well made they are! The fabric/stripes line up perfectly across the upholstery, and we’re happy with everything about these chairs. Reclining is comfortable, and our heads rest on the chair (it isn’t too short)—we’re 5’5” and 5’9”. It sometimes feels like the full recline isn’t going to “stay,” but I haven’t been pushed back up yet. Hoping these will stay in good shape long term.
