Exactly what I had hoped for, looks exactly as pictured and obviously of good quality! Some of the reviews stated that the chair is a to small for larger people, I'm 6' 2" and it fits me quite well, especially since it's started to break in. The biggest thing to remember is this is a chair that reclines, it's not a huge poofy Lazy Boy style recliner. If you want a great addition to your living space that looks distinguished this is the one!
