Really a 3.5 star rating. The chair is quite comfortable and the recline mechanism is great. My problems were that the back legs wouldn’t screw on properly, as the fully tightened position had the legs pointing at an odd angle that looked like it would break. I used cardboard spacers that I made so that the rear legs could be fully tightened and in the correct postion. My second problem is that the fabric on the seat cushion is pilling after six months of light to moderate use. The fabric is more delicate than I expected, so I am in search of a cover. The avian design and appearance are great.
