We love these chairs. We are so pleased that they are super comfortable, they look great, the seats are deep enough for comfort, but not too deep. The upholstery is very nice  - it looks like distressed leather, but not chintzy at all. Very surprising for the price. What an excellent value. They are quite large, but not monstrous. These chairs are so comfortable that we are reluctant to get up once we sit in them.  We are still amazed that these chairs can be so great when we bought them online without testing them in person, and paid a ridiculously low price. The recliner is manual, and maybe this explains the price, but it is worth it.
