Package came a little beat up but thankfully the chair itself was in perfect shape.  It is a really nice comfy big chair, wide enough for me to sit in with my 3 year old next to me.  Love that it glides and reclines.  I did not feel like it was hard to get in and out of the recliner position as some reviewers said.  Simply love the chair and can't wait to spend more time in it when new baby arrives!
