This is a beautiful chair and very comfortable. The only issue I have is you can not close down the foot rest with you legs. I have to standup keeping my legs against the footrest and then turn and push it in by hand, it is very stiff and will not close using legs. I hope it just stiff from being new and will in time loosen up. It is part of the love seat and chair I purchased 2 years ago and still matches well.
