The recliner is a smaller size which is perfect and is really good looking.  The only thing (and this is not a biggie) is that it is really tight and I don't have a lot of core strength so I had trouble getting it to recline while seated.  I learned to pull out the footrest a bit to get started then push against the footrest with my feet to recline properly.  If it were less tight, it would have gotten 5, no make that 10, stars!
