I bought two and they are gorgeous and sophisticated! As other reviews indicate, they are firm but that is exactly what I wanted. It is also a little difficult to recline but I think that will relax with time. I am 5'4" / 150 lbs and fit perfectly except my feet don't touch the floor when I sit all the way back into the seat. My husband is 6'0" / 230 lbs and fits perfectly - including being able to rest his head at the top. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is because the foot rest is a little uncomfortable. In order to maintain the very sleek, upscale appearance I understand they probably couldn't use a lot of padding so I'd prefer to deal with a little discomfort. These aren't meant to be kick back and watch sports all day recliners.
