We were happy with this chair to start. Its so easy to assemble, came quickly and looks great. However, after having it for a few weeks we find the reclining part of the chair is hard to use. It does not stay all the way reclined without lots of weight pushing it back and you have to push hard fairly hard to close the foot rest. It is also not very smooth or easy to get the foot rest to pop out when reclining. Lastly, my husband who is only about 175 pounds was sitting on the chain and leaned onto the arm as he was sitting down and he felt the whole middle of the arm collapse! So in sum, the chair looks great but does not function well and it not great quality.
