WE BOUGHT 2 OF THESE FABULOUS LOUNGES...THEY ARE NOT ONLY COMFY COZY BUT THERE IS SOOOO MUCH ROOM BETWEEN THE TWO ARMS, OUR CATS HAVE ROOM TO SIT BESIDE OUR THIGHS NOT JUST BETWEEN OUR LEGS!!!   YOU CAN PLACE THESE LOUNGES VERY CLOSE TO THE WALL WITH NO NEED FOR EXTRA ROOM TO RECLINE AND THE TRANSITION IS SOOO SMOOTH AND QUIET THAT OUR CATS BARELY HEAR IT...THE BACK OF THE CHAIR IS HIGH ENOUGH BUT NOT SO MUCH THAT YOUR CHIN IS ALMOST TOUCHING YOUR CHEST AS IS WITH MOST LOUNGES...WE PLACED A FOAM PILLOW IN A PILLOWCASE BETWEEN OUR CHAIRS (LAYING ON ARM RESTS) SO WE CAN HOLD HANDS COMFORTABLY AND IT IS ALSO A GREAT PLACE TO PUT YOUR BOOK YOU MAYBE READING, YOUR PLATE IF YOU EAT WATCHING TV, ETC...SOOO HAPPY WITH THESE LOUNGES AND NO NEED FOR A COFFEE TABLE ANYMORE...THANKS FOR QUICK DELIVERY AND SIMPLE SET UP, HUBBY DID BOTH CHAIRS ALONE IN MINUTES!!!
