I love the style and look of this chair. It is modern for a wingback and not super bulky like your grandparents old recliner. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and the recliner aspect lays back pretty far, almost flat. However it doesn’t glide as the description states. It just swivels and reclines which is disappointing for a newborn nursery chair. It is also extremely awkward and somewhat difficult to put the foot down on the recliner.
