This chair is very comfortable.  I love the dark gray color.  The reclining mechanism works great; however, the fabric is a little disappointing on the foot rest....because that gets a lot of use when you close the recliner from a reclining position to a regular upright chair position.  The fabric on the footrest is getting "balls" on it and shows wear that I can't fix.  In a different fabric/leather, this chair would be perfect!
