Spent hours reviewing chairs that recline and would fit into fairly small spaces. My wife wanted something comfortable to recliner in to read, watch TV and do Reiki in. I decided to go with the Macedonia Mid Century model. It arrived on time and though the large box was slightly beat up, the chair was packed well and undamaged. Very easy to assemble with no tools. Simply align and snap the back into place and screw on the legs. Leveling discs were also provided that would slide onto the leg bolts as needed. A nice addition! Assembled, the chair looked nice and functioned properly (rocking and reclining). Im 64 240lbs and for fine in the chair though headrest was low to support my head well. Top of headrest was just under my head. This was for my 53 150lbs wife who fit perfectly in the chair. Heres where the major issue came in... The material, though looking nice was very rough feeling. Not soft or gentle against the skin on her arms and legs. She also complained that there was an odd odor coming from the chair. Our daughter, 57 180lbs, sat fine in the chair as well, but also claimed the material was rough and not comfortable and she too smelt an odd odor as well. I told them that it could just be the packing material which contained a large plastic bag, thin plywood inside the cardboard box and may need to be aired out a while, but they both said it smelt like fish! I smelt it thinking they were being silly but it did put off a fishy odor. Though sort of faint, it was a fishy odor. We let it sit for a few days without any change and I needed to move it out of the house do to the smell being to much to deal with. Returning because we can not use it in this condition and even if the smell were to finally dissipate, the material is just to rough to be comfortable to relax in.
Would be okay if it didnt Smell like fish!
