The chair is very comfortable, solid feel to it when you sit down.  I am tall (5'10") and my feet actually just touch the floor when sitting in it.  This color is very light and blends in well.  I got this to use in a bedroom and it is perfect for that.  It went together in probably 4 or 5 minutes.  The box did give me a scare as it was full of holes and ripped on the corners.  The padding inside made up for the rough handling and there wasn't any damage.  The box itself served as a temporary playhouse for the granddaughters, they had  great time in it! It certainly has a firm feeling when you sit in it but for me that's good, I prefer that.  Extended out, I have plenty of room as does my taller husband. Nice quality upholstery as well.  I really like this recliner.
