Pleasantly surprised by this chair. I received the color I ordered and the chair went together easily, Knew I wasn’t getting the highest quality craftsmanship for the price (309.00) but it’s well made and should last a few years. My 3 boys, all 6’2” and around 200 lbs, fit in it comfortably. Yes it’s a little difficult to close but I have yet to try a manual recliner that’s not.
