This recliner is very comfortable, however, whenever it is described as a over-sized recliner it is not. It is a standard size recliner. If you are a larger person or a "big" man this would not be a good choice. It was easy to assemble and easy to carry to an upstairs bedroom. I ordered the purple recliner. The picture online is deceiving. The recliner I received is more of a navy blue.
