I bought this chair for my home office and it works great for me. I wanted a chair to just relax in during lunch or during an extended meeting just to get out of my regular chair. I even stay in it after work to read. It's a little stiff right now but I've only had it two weeks and it's already softening up. My husband doesn't like it because he's a bigger guy so keep that in mind. The only thing I don't like is you have to push the recliner down yourself with your feet, I'm shorter so sometimes it takes a try or two. I wish you could use the lever to push it back in. For the price though, it's what I needed.
