This recliner is solidly made, works exactly as described, and very comfortable. It was also very easy to assemble, and was packaged perfectly. The only cons I have is the color (the brown is much darker than the picture suggests) and that the chair back cannot stay upright when you want to elevate your knees only. So I would keep these considerations in mind when buying this recliner. Otherwise, this was hands-down the best chair I have ever owned.
