I read through many reviews of many recliners before choosing this one... I wanted one that was on the smaller side because our nursery room isn’t that big, but I had my heart set on a recliner. Firstly, it shipped within a WEEK (I think originally it was 4-6 weeks estimated). It was SUPER easy to put together  the fabric is nice  soft. When the footrest is down is does glide back  forth which was important for me when I was deciding on a recliner.. pretty comfortable, it can comfortably hold me and my toddler on my lap. The footrest does take effort (and isn’t the quietest) to secure back in place but not worth complaining about.. I expected that with a manual recliner. It’s easy to get in and out of. Haven’t spent too much time in it yet but I expect I’ll be spending a lot more time in it in the weeks to come once baby gets here. Overall I’m very happy with the purchase  only time will tell how it holds up!
