I had been looking forever for the perfect black leather recliner to go in my kitchen hearth area. I needed two of them. So, after finding these on Wayfair I was excited...just kept my fingers crossed they looked as good in person as they did in the picture. Well.....they did!!! Simply beautiful!! High quality, arrived in perfect condition (no damage) and are a very nice black color (more like a vintage black, not jet black). The picture almost makes the chair look grayish, but its not. Its black. They are a bit pricey, but worth every penny. Also, they arent bulky, which I like. Can fit in a fairly tight space, but you still get all the benefits of a recliner! Love my new chairs!
