This furniture set is absolutely amazing. I love it,  my family just loves it. My husband put everything together on his own.  He was surprised at the ease in putting each piece together,  no tools needed. I read a review that started the foot rests were short.  I can attest that it is not true. It is dependent upon the reclining position of the chair.  The foot rests are in the proper position for each stage of reclining. I've even layed across the couch as a whole and it is very comfortable you do not feel the separation of each seating place like you could on my old reclining set that I paid twice as much for. I highly recommend this living room set and in the future will look for this maker. The quality is great.
