Stylish, easy-assemble. The recliner is comfortable and gives just the right amount of “recline” for lack of a better word. Chair is firm, solid. If it feels too solid/hard right out of the box, give it a chance. With repeated seatings (and varying sizes posteriors) the seat cushion softens and mellows really quickly. Over time is will be perfect firmness.. Stately, classy. This chair is everything I expected.
