Nice little chair. I traded in my recliner for it. It did soften up after about a week. I usually sit in it to watch TV but sat in it to read today and was comfortable. My son-in-law put it together for me because I had surgery and couldn't but it took no time at all. The only thing I wish it had was more cushion on the back. It is rather stiff and doesn't have much padding but for the price I  can't complain.
