Beautiful color. Manual recliner works as needed. Much bigger seat than I was expecting, but it's perfect for curling up in it even without the recliner. Seat feels comfortable. My only complaint, that I was expecting, was the wings don't jut out further to more securely rest your head against. As long as you don't nod off, leaning my head against them while I read is comfortable. Overall, a nearly perfect reading chair :)
