How do I know this recliner is a hit? My husband fell asleep within 10 minutes of reclining on it, I was able to take a three hour nap on it and so did my 22 year old daughter! It was super easy to put together and reclines easily. The seat is fairly firm which makes it good so you don't feel like you are going to sink through the seat. If you are very tall, it may not be big enough. If you are under 5 foot 10, it would be fine. We love it! I hope it lasts!
