They arrived within a few days. They were really easy to put together. It took longer to unwrap them. :) Very comfortable, Just push back on the arms and they recline back to two positions. I love the high back it really supports your shoulders neck and head. I'm short and my husband is 6'4" they are perfect for both unusual. I've had no problems closing the recliner to get up, just lean forward putting both hands on the arms and it closes smoothly. All an all. Love them!
