The chair is a nice decorative piece but doesn’t function well- the chair continually bounces up from the reclined position. The manufacturer stated this would improve with time, but no timeframe estimate was provided. In almost a month of daily use there has been no improvement. (This has not been a  problem with previous manual recliners.) Also, upon arrival, there was a noticeable low spot on one side of the seat cushion; this is worsening.  The fabric is lovely but does not seem sturdy enough for upholstery- the seams are already pulling on the arms.  It is my overall impression that this chair will need to be reupholstered or replaced within a year or two.
