Functional, not exciting. Recline mechanism is louder than I expected. Comfortable enough that I've fallen asleep more than once.

Highly recommend
This one's a keeper. Comfortable enough that I've fallen asleep more than once. Would buy again in a heartbeat.

Worth a look
Reasonably happy. Fits my dad perfectly — he's tall and has finally found a chair that supports him. Spent the whole weekend in this and never wanted to get up. Lever is a bit stiff at first but it loosens up.

Top notch
No regrets at all. Smoothest recline I've owned and the upholstery feels expensive. Lever is a bit stiff at first but it loosens up. Spent the whole weekend in this and never wanted to get up. Couldn't be more satisfied.

Glad I took a chance on this brand. Comfortable enough that I've fallen asleep more than once. Lever is a bit stiff at first but it loosens up.
