Arrived early despite estimations, which rocked. I was tired of leaning off to the left when i sat down, and the involuntary recline that accompanied my lean. So cast off my old friend of 12 years(recliner), from divorces to watching the kids grow, being the place i holed up, when it got to 43F in the house. Anyway, the new chair is easy to assemble, feels kind of stiff at the moment, but comfortable for a 6ft man. Now, the swivel feature makes it difficult to face one direction when seated. Every movement you make sends you rotating in tiny increments, luckily if you kick your leg off to the opposite direction, you can straighten out. (meaning, face the t.v.). Cats havent shredded it yet, so thats a plus. But theres been a few nights i heard a clawing on somethin by one of them s#$@$ches and come flying down in my underwear. No claw marks, so good news. A good buy Id say. So far so good. No surprise pops.
