Surprisingly comfortable & looks great in my living room. Got tired of overstuffed, lumpy looking recliners that didn't really match the look of the room. This looks a little more formal & sits a little higher than my last recliner. It's got a firm, but bouncy seat cushion & the back cradles the spine shoulders & offers really good , comfortable support. The fabric seems like it will hold up to basic wear & tear - the buttons on the back dress it up & the nail trim actually seems to be nailed in (not glued on). I got the orange - my sofa is the Tabatha sofa in a chestnut color & it matches perfectly, not a bright orange - very nice color.  For the price - I'm very happy with this purchase.
