I really wanted to like this chair.  After 5 months this chairs make more noise than anything I have ever own.  It creaks when i sit down, get up or move and its not very comfortable if you have a bad back or problem neck.  Not comfortable for TV watching, the recline is not practical. The reading position to stiff, upright and unyielding.  I don't know I just don't like it anymore. Still looks good just doesn't seat well.  I spend a lot of time in my room b/c of a roommate type of situation and its not comfortable sitting in for a couple of hours watching tv
