You get what you pay for... generally I am happy with this chair a couple months in. Haven’t had to breastfeed in it yet, but seems totally appropriate for that. To recline you really have to push back and use your weight to keep the back reclined. Doesn’t just stay in any position. Swivel works fine.
Cons foot rest is very difficult to push back into place. I usually have to wiggle out of the seat with the extension up and then close the foot rest with my hand. Also, once I must have put too much of my pregnant weight onto one of the armrests to get up, and the material under the upholstery cracked. So now there is a dip in the armrest. Fortunately not dangerous, but pretty annoying.
