The chair looks nice, but the cushions are very hard/dense.  The cushions have no give - you feel like you are sitting on a high chair.  I'm 5'9" and my feet almost dangled.  It wouldn't be so bad if the arms and back were slightly higher to accommodate the height of the seat cushion.  Also, the reclining mechanism wasn't smooth.  It went into the 1st position easily and held, but when moving it into the 2nd position my husband almost tipped chair over.  When I tried, I was hesitant as it took a lot of pressure to move it to the 2nd position, but then once into position, it slipped out quite a bit. I am sending this chair back and am not looking forward to how much shipping will cost me!
