The chair is as lovely in person as it is in the photos. Assembly was easy and it is very comfy. As other reviews have noted, the cushion is still initially, however they loosen up within a couple weeks. I enjoy the wide back for reclining because you are not restricted to just recline straight back, you are able to move your head side to side. The complaint I have for the chair is that the fabric is very easily damaged. I have had this chair for less than four months and it has pics and pulls in the fabric. Our pet cats are partially to blame, along with children. There is one seam that appears to be pulling apart on the back. If you plan to use this chair in a home without kids or with out cats who have claws, it will be perfect. All that said, I will likely order another to have a matching set.
