A perfect size for the small space we have (though to fully recline it does need a bit of space behind). Easy to put together - though as it mentions, you've either got to be a person with some decent upper body strength and excellent hand/eye coordination for placing the back on the posts on the base, or you need two people. We used two people and it was easy. As others have mentioned, the headrest is hard to raise, be as we like it exactly where it is that hasn't been an issue. Most important, it's VERY comfy. Has excellent support wherever you need it. I'm 5'5" and the sig o is 6 foot. Both of us find it very comfortable. It's a fine, solid piece of furniture and pretty much just what we wanted. Only had it a week, so can't speak to the longevity of the "bonded leather," but so far so good.
