I bought this chair about 3 weeks ago and I am very please with it. I agree with others about the instructions being somewhat lacking. I guess they want to save printing cost but I dont know why this company as well as others dont have downloadable PDFs with clearer instructions. But back to the chair, I did get the color and I am very pleased with the way it looks and as far as Im concerned it made very well. It is bonded and there isnt anything wrong with that. To expect real at this price is unrealistic. The arms are a bit low and Im considering drilling new holes to raise them about an inch. I think that will be a more comfortable height but Ill probably wait until the warranty is up. My only real concern is the . Im 6 ft and about 225 so I am worried this may fracture. I may modify this with casters if it does (since it is low casters could raise it and inch or so). Also the grating sound it makes is bothersome. Could be my weight causing this. On a more positive note I like the feel of the chair in the upright position when Im working and in the recline position its excellent for watching TV, somewhere in between for reading and I have cat napped in it too. I think the ottoman is just right for me, others may disagree, but my legs dont get cramped like a regular recliner and I just gave mine away to a thrift store. Overall I do believe this is an exceptionally good buy with some minor problems but I would recommend it.
Comfortable and looks great
