Well made, nice firm cushions, the perfect size for a smaller space, and surprisingly even a 6'2" man found it comfortable (he didn't mind that his feet were not supported as long as his legs were).  We worried that the mechanism would be too stiff, but it's not a problem.  Getting the footrest down does take a little effort.  We like the wider arms, it swivels and rocks very nicely, and the reclining function is also good.
