I was excited to find a recliner that actually matched the chaise couch that I so desperately wanted. Now the problem is I don't even sit on the couch because I live in this chair. I will have to add that the seat portion is narrow in width which is fine for my shape and size but may not be suitable or comfortable for wider body styles. Also when the chair is in the recliner position, others in the room can visually see the particle board sides. I feel this cheapens the look of the room. With that being said, I love the blue color, the comfort and style, but feel it may not last  for years to come.
