They are nice looking chairs. Reclining is ample for both me and my hubby. They are cheaply made and not super solid. If you sit with any weight and not more gently, the chair will lift a bit and shift on the floor. The lumbar support is more comfy than the last couch we had. Nice to have the swivel. Nice to have additional ottomans, but they move easily on our wooden floors. I might suggest buying those grip pads or a roll of the grip material that some people use in their drawers and under rugs, so they move less. Having the chairs and ottomans on an area rug or carpet would create a more stable situation in comparison to on our wood floor. Screws were mis-labeled for one chair. Definitely assembles easier with two people, but not necessary. You get what you pay for - unfortunately in today’s times, they cost twice as much as they may have cost just before Covid. The bases of the chairs and ottomans are a decent wood.
