love the soft feel of the material. the chair dose sometimes recline a bit suddenly some times. its almost like it can tell when you need to relax . fits perfectly into our new decorated lounge . deffo recommend . we also love the foot stool and the compartment to keep magazines . a 5 out 5 for comfort and style . putting it together is a bit tricky but you  need to take your time. Follow the instructions and it will be fine .
