I purchased this recliner for my husband.  It came in a large cardboard box.  He put it together in record time while I was at work.  When I came home and saw it, I was pleasantly surprised for the quality of the recliner.  It is not a big chair (which I didn't want), but it was a good size for him without taking up much room.  He is 6' tall and weighs 200 lbs.  The material of the chair is soft and according to him, it is very comfortable.  The price was extremely reasonable.
