This chair looks great, but it's a very uncomfortable recliner!!  The padding is very hard and unwelcoming to sit on Very! Very stiff to recline, I have to manually pull footrest out a little, then sit and recline. The reclining position is uncomfortable,  footrest is lower than the seat, it feels wierd! Second reclining position doesn't stay in place and is also very uncomfortable ! I purchased this recliner for watching television,  but it just dosen't work!! I give this chair one star because it looks good!
