My husband was looking for a slim recliner that was comfortable. This recliner is narrow, so if you are a larger then avaergae person it will not be a good fit. My husband fit just fine, but the recliner is cheaply made and the fabric is cheap as well. We weren't expecting a high end recliner for $200 so we got what we expected. Not sure how long it will last or when the fabric will start to pill or tear, but for now its fine.
