While this is a beautiful chair, and quite comfortable, I have to knock two stars off for the appearance of the back. In the stock photos you can clearly see that there is a bit of a *slight* gap on the sides, since the fabric is attached at the bottom by a Velcro strip. In person this gap is much more apparent, especially since I have this car at an angle, facing another part of my home. My other issue is with the fabric on the back portion, which you can see in the third picture, it looks crinkled, like it was possibly seen incorrectly and it does not lay down and I feel like the back portion just cheapens the look of this recliner, which was in no way cheap! I am slightly dissapoinyed with this purchase.
