the chair is very comfortable to sit in. I like the velvet fabric but it has a terrible chemical smell. Have had to keep windows open to try to air out. when you recline in the chair fully extended it will not catch. It lowers you back down if you dont hold it back with your feet. also when you push down to close the chair it will not close. you have to get out of the chair with it open and close the foot rest with your hand.
