This is not a large clunky recliner.  It is not built for a large man.  It is space saving and can be placed fairly close to the wall.  The seat is fairly firm and the edges of the seat turn up slightly.  Looks like a well worn and loved leather recliner, but is fabric.  I love mine, but my husband prefers his old chair.  

Pros: easy assembly, space saving, comfortable, great price
Cons: no color option
