I'm glad I tried it.
I was apprehensive about buying such an inexpensive recliner, often it ends up being cheap throw away furniture. but it turns out I'm really glad I gave it a try. I am replacing a much higher quality chair that has always been too large for my apartment, but it was, again, a high quality chair and those are hard to get rid of psychologically, and the quality is so high the darn thing won't die. But the cat got to it and it doesn't recline and its too big (33"x37"). I wanted a recliner, I wanted it "apartment sized" and I wanted to be able to comfortably use the laptop while seated and partially reclined. Honestly this chair is perfect. Im writing this review in it now -and I just reclined to the first position, it's perfect. I'm 5'10" and 170lbs, this chair was made for me it seems.the arms are a perfect hight for my elbows while writing, the foot rest hits just above my heel, while the back goes half the way up my head when fully reclined, and it does fully recline. I may get a lumbar/bolster pillow as the seat is long, which is a nice feature I would not change. As far as the looks no one will think you spent $1500 on this, but it does look like it costs more than $200. I would have thought $400, maybe $500. Yes it does have some threads hanging that are easily clipped away. I don't know how long it will last, but if I had to replace it with another in two years I would be okay with that. - not that it will, but man, it was only $200, So I'm assuming it won't last as long as the chair I'm replacing (10+years). the color is true to what it looked like online, light grey The shipping took almost a solid week longer than the expected delivery date. but all in all, very happy with it so far. I could easily sleep in it, or watch a movie while seated or reclined. In fact, I think Ill go do that now..i would recommend this chair to a friend.
