    Hard to beat for the price

    My first impression was hmmkind of lightweight, hope it is worth it, but once it was together, it is remarkably sturdy. It is NOT , but looks nice and seems very well built. We purchased a 2nd chair (identical) and both are great. Now for the bottom line: Pros: / Sturdy, nice looking, well built, great price / Comfortable, decent lumbar support (not huge, not small) / Fits into smaller spaces than most other recliners / Ottoman is also comfortable, light, easy to move, great looking, well designed/built, and serves as a great spare seat for short conversations or when putting on shoes / overall, no real complaints from either of uswe are happy with the purchases. Cons: / The reclining mechanism is a bit jerky until you get used to it (I cant count the number of times I snapped it into and out of the reclining position). I am considering it operator error. / The ing mechanism is my biggest long term concern. The bottom rail is a thick plastic//not metal. It glides fairly smoothly and quietly because it is plastic, but I dont know how long to expect it to last without cracking or breaking (eventually). In the end, if we lose the ability in the future, I plan to remove the rail completely, put felt pads on the wood base, and go less from then on. Seems easy enough if that happens. / The black covering on the bottom of the seat is questionable. I have dining chairs with similar material under them. The on two of those dining chairs has completely disintegrated, and I replaced that with normal material using a staple gun on both chairs. It is just cosmetic in every case, and is limited to the on the bottom of the chair anyway (so it would be tough to notice it was gone, even if it was never replaced. The clean up of messy disintegrating was the worst part of the ordeal). However, the on the 6 other chairs is still fine, so it seems like a hit or miss item. / The chair p material does squeak against itself (as the material rubs together) when you move around a lot, or are reclining. I dont find it annoying, but I could imagine it could be a problem for some people. I was in a new office last week and all their chairs made the same amount of noise when we sat in them or moved around. I would not have noticed except I was paying attention after buying these chairs and was getting ready to write this review. / Finally, it would be optimal if the arm height could be adjusted (I think this might be asking a lot for the price), but sometimes, I want the armrests higher, which seems worth mentioning. They are currently no different than a normal sofa height. Again//we really like our chairs! The pros significantly outweigh the cons
