I bought this recliner for my niece's nursery. She's expecting in August & her chair was shipped to her in about a week & a half, plenty of time for her husband to put it together for baby boy's arrival. She had chosen this chair on her Baby Shower registry, so I did question her to see if this is what she really wanted & I told her I just can't understand how she could pick out a chair without "seeing & feeling & testing" out this chair. But after it arrived, she said the chair is so comfortable & LOVES it! (I only gave this a 4 star rating because I did not test out the chair myself, we live about 4 hours apart)
