This recliner is extremely comfortable. The material and padding is very plush and soft. The seat itself is very wide so that you don't feel squished when sitting in it. The assembly was very easy and it took about 3 minutes to put the chair together. If you are looking for a big soft comfy recliner, I highly recommend this one. Overall this chair is an excellent value for the price.  The only drawback is for people taller than 6' your feet will hang off the end.
