Hard to find furniture in the USA that is not ridiculously oversized, overstuffed and lousy quality.
This is none of those.
To be clear, it is by no means a high end piece, but it works and fits our home and personality (fairly solid seating and upright position when not reclined) 
The pictures are a little deceiving, at the angle shown you can in real life see the edge of the black metal frame underneath.
It is very much in view at the back! Unless you place it with the back to a wall (you do need an inch or 4 of clearance) that might be a deal breaker.
For us at this price a good deal!
