Now that I have had his recliner for two months, I wanted to share my thoughts. When it first arrived, we were impressed with the ease of assembly. It took about five minutes. There were little things that we noticed, such as a gap between the chair portion and the recliner portion that is visible all the time. Also, the depth of the chair seems larger than expected, meaning that the feet of people 6 feet or less can dangle when seated.  Within the last two weeks, the recliner began to squeak. Not super loud but still annoying for a $400 recliner. It is comfortable and more so if you prefer to sit with your feet crossed in the seat (criss cross applesauce style). While we are not sending it back, we will likely move it to the basement and replace it when we find something that is a better fit for us.
