This is not a high end chair, but is quite nice for the price. I actually recently had purchased some Lazyboy recliners, which I am not at all happy with btw, and I believe this chair is better over all quality for much less money. I don't expect it to last forever, but for the price no way I can complain.  Some folks may like this as their regular sitting and reclining chair while others may want it as an extra chair for guest to sit in. I think I'll be lucky to get 5 years out of those lazyboys. Pretty sure this will do that and then some.
