I wanted something for the corner of my room so I can enjoy watching TV without being on my bed. This is everything I was looking for. The only two things I would say I would have preferred would be an easier closing capability when you get off the recliner. And it to be a wall hugger recliner so you dont have to pull it so far from the wall to extend it out all the way. But luckily I have floor space so this works okay for me. And strong legs. Lol. It is extremely comfortable. Im 54 and it fits me just right. Customer service was absolutely outstanding when FedEx decided to drop the ball with the delivery process.
