Good buy for the money--- it arrived fast In a big box on my doorstep--it assembled somewhat easily (need 2 people to get the back properly onto the frame).   It's not the largest recliner but we are not large people so it works for us.  Very cushy arms and firm seat/back.  It's definitely a "taupe" or grey-beige color. Cons are : made in China so no idea of the chemicals in it --emits a faint "musty" smell which hopefully goes away soon? It does recline well but some force is needed to close it back up.  Overall very happy with this piece !
