I like this chair.  The color is exactly what I was expecting.  It's a manual control but it does easily push back into position and re-close.  I'm a 70 year old woman so ease is important to me. The cushion is firm so I sit up higher, which I like for ease of standing.  The fabric seems durable.  The feet are very pretty.  There are no tools needed.  I put this chair together with my 3 year old grandson in about 20 minutes.  It should not have taken 20 minutes but the instructions regarding the back of the chair were not clear and I have suggested that they add an important piece of information.  When you are looking at the back of the chair, you will see predominantly, a metal set of glides which you may think are for the back cushion to slide into.  They are not.  Those are for the glides for the arms.  The metal glides that are much further down are the glides for the back of the chair.  Once you see that, it slides in well.  Insert the arms after the back.
