I bought this chair for my Hubby who has a neurological condition.  I like that it sits high so its easy to get out of it.  The mechanism to recline is easy to work.  My husband (who is not too handy) put it together quickly as it came in two parts.  The color runs blue which is why I gave it 4 stars as I wanted a true grey.  But its still a nice color and will work well in the room.  My husband fell asleep in it while watching the game.  That is the highest compliment I can think of.
