I think it looks much nicer in the picture.  It appears boxier and wider.  It is made well, but to recline it takes some exertion.  The mechanism is challenging and hopefully, it will loosen a little as it is used.  It is a good height for pulling up a tray table and comfortable in a reclined position.  It does not need a lot of space between the chair and the wall to recline fully.  Only one recline position, but its good for TV watching or sleeping.  Not a very long chair, I am 5'2" and anyone taller would be hanging off the footrest and head support.
