This recliner arrived today and when I opened the box I was thrilled to see that the fabric looks like a rustic leather (I thought it was going to be a plain brown fabric). It was packaged well and arrived in perfect condition. This is my 7th La-Z-boy recliner and as usual I am not disappointed in the quality of this recliner. It arrives in two pieces and so assembly literally takes about 30 seconds. As I write this review I'm enjoying the wonderful back support and soft comfort of the recliner's design.
