I am thrilled with the Brodie Manual Standard Recliner. It arrived quicker than if I had purchased it locally. It was easily assembled. The fabric feels durable with no visible gaps in the weave. The stripe pattern matches. The seat cushion is comfortable...kind of like Goldilocks - not too hard, not too soft. I shopped many different stores, looking at chairs 2 - 3 times the price of this one. Overall the price and quality of the Brodie won out.
