This recliner is exactly as pictured, but sits a bit higher than it appears.  It's ok because I'm tall!  The delivery process was simple with Wayfair keeping me in touch every step of the way, and the delivery personnel called me 30 minutes prior.  We weren't home so delivery was left by front door out of view of street..  Assembly was simple,  It's a lovely chair for the price.  My first order went very smoothly.  We are very pleased and will shop Wayfair again.
