This is a lovely chair! I was looking for a slim recliner for a little corner in my living room.I looked for months until I came across this. Overall I am pleased with this for the price.It is a soft material; seems durable.It didn't take long to assemble, but not all pieces line up perfectly, and there is a gap in the seat-back portion that arrived this way. I am not too pleased with that aspect, but I will survive.Being tall, I like that I can rest my head back. My ankles aren't as happy, as they rest on an uncomfortable part of the recliner. It is a manual recliner, so it does take a bit of strength to get to each position.  Overall, I am pleased and would recommend.
