Bought for my husband & we both love it ,he for the comfort & me for the space saving size ! I was worried about it being too small to be comfortable, but the man ( 5'8") says its all good, easy to get out of &  reclining mechanism is sturdy. Leather like fabric seems would be durable with our 2 dogs & 2 cats . I got the Flint ,which is a darker gray & looks good.
