For the money, it really is a decent chair. Perfect if you are needing a smaller sized recliner. My better half is 6 feet tall and his feet hang over the edge when reclined...however, for me it's perfectly sized, i'm 5'2" and honestly it was like it was made for me :) So....score for me! The "leather" doesn't look cheapy and the stitching is nice. Put it together in about 10 minutes. It goes well with our other new furniture and serves its purpose as extra seating. It's not as comfortable i'm sure as a 1,000 dollar recliner, i'd say it's a 7 out of 10 on comfort.
