Buyer Beware
Ok. So I guess I learned a lesson; ordering a recliner online and thinking that it would arrive in safe condition was a wishful thinking proposition. The acme sage microfiber recliner indeed arrived, within 2 weeks of order, however it has the following issues:
1)it is made from the cheapest and truly thinnest materials possible- so if you knock on the sides, a thin layer of plywood is heard.
2) The cushions below the fabric are polyurethane type so I highly doubt it would survive more than six months in a normal use household before it sinks.
3) The actual box arrived DAMAGED with a 1 inch ripped hole on the side of recliner near by the lever to pull up the recliner. While it was packed in a large cardbox, when opened- the hole was already there and it appears like durijng shipping the box took a hit or the thin plywood on the side of the chair broke and the fabric (sage green) ripped. by the time we discovered it, the truck has left and now we cannot return it without paying 50-100$ to return it so we have to fix it ourself.
4)The product itself is built a best as something you should plan on using for 6 month and hope for another 6 but definitely not as a 'keeper'.
5) the picture of 'sage green' is much darker than the reality which is light sage green.
Overall, very unhappy with purchase even-though I was hoping to prove myself wrong because it was 'amazon' product versus a 'external seller'- but nope, it is what it is-- very cheaply made in china recliner. Bad for amazon's reputation.
