The chair is soft and comfortable. Looks great. Very easy to assemble. Lots of room in the seat for a wide back side. I was looking for a chair that you could control the back and the legs separately. This is NOT it. Can’t really sit up straight. If you have your legs up, your back is too far back to be comfortable.  When you put your legs down the chair is starting to lift you out of it before the recliner actually closes so if you want to get up on your own it poses a safety risk. If you need the lift assist, don’t want extra choice in chair position, and are wide in the seat then this is the chair for you!!
