Love it!  It was easy to assemble and looks great.  As far as using it for reclining I would say it's a bit of a hassle. You have to lean it forward until it clicks and then lower to the position you want.  Then you have to lay it flat until it clicks to bring it back up to a seated position.  Since I don't really plan on using this feature, I don't mind.  Love the fabric.  Looks like soft worn leather.
