We've had this for several months now and this recliner is awesome. Hubs is 6'4" 310 and he loves it! He's pretty rough on things and this recliner is no exception. It's held up wonderfully. I often look at it concerned that it would break - but  so far, so good! This was a great purchase and I'd happily buy it again. It's comfy and it was super easy to put together.
