This is a great choice in a recliner and I'm very happy with my purchase. I purchased mainly to use as a reading chair but it would also be comfortable in front of the TV. The cushions are very firm which is exactly what I wanted; very comfortable and supportive.  The seat is a bit deep for me (I'm 5 ft 4 in) but nothing that a lumbar pillow won't remedy, it's perfect for my 6' 1'' husband. A few reviews have noted it's difficult to recline the chair but they may not have been aware that feature is adjustable and I'm able to recline easily now that we've adjusted things. I wanted an attractive, comfortable quality recliner that didn't look like a recliner and that's exactly what I got!
