I have looked and looked and looked for a recliner that doesn’t scream “old lady”. I’ve searched so long and so many choices that my husband finally told me he was giving up on my search with me. Alas, THE chair. It is classy, comfy, and as pretty as I hoped.  Im an average size lady, 5’7” and it’s more than spacious for me. I even find my husband in it occasionally and he has plenty of space also, 225lbs 6’2”. If you’re hesitant to purchase without trying it first, take the plunge. Assembly was peace of cake. You’ll love it!
