This chair is massive, heavy, and an exceptionally sturdy piece of furniture built to last. I LOVE IT! If you like dainty, understated furniture then this is probably not for you.
(NOTE about delivery: NSD delivered within the appointment time/frame and did a wonderful job checking to be sure everything was shipshape before he left. Sadly, in our excitement, we forgot to give him a service gratuity and I feel terrible about that. We only paid for curbside drop/off but he stayed longer. I contacted NSD to let them know the delivery man did an exceptional job!)
The chair came in two pieces with the hand screws taped in a baggie to the underside of the backrest piece. The backrest piece was manageable for one middle aged female of average strength and in good health. The bottom piece/ oh holy mother. That piece took two people and was a chore to get inside the . The top piece easily slid down onto the bottom piece with one person (again, of average strength and no mobility issues) although it did take me a couple of tries due to operator error.
Once it was all said and done, I was in heaven in this beast! I am 56 and wanted a chair where my feet did not hang off the leg rest at any point when reclined. This goes one better/ my feet dont even touch the floor when I slide all the way back in the chair. I feel like a little kid in grandpas favorite chair! Or a queen on her throne! I read comments about the chair being extremely stiff/firm. I didnt find that to be the case. Its extremely comfortable and the backrest cradles your head. I think the firmness is subjective so perhaps to many people it DOES feel very firm.
One thing I didnt see many comments about was the arm rest height. You will want a taller/than/average end table for this. The top of the arm rest is approximately 28 or close to it. A normal 24 end table for this is too low for my supreme comfort so I ordered a 28 table here on .
We have the beautiful walnut Dorado that looks like leather. However, this does not feel like leather and is a wonderful textured fabric with none of the sticky/slick feeling that economy/grade leather would have (at 452 it would definitely not have been high/end leather).
As a precaution, we have covered it with a large/oversized recliner T/cover that is water proof and has non/slip texturing on the back since I wasnt sure how slick the recliner would be. No worries/ a non/grip backing would have been just fine but the grips definitely help keep it in place.

It fits well with a little tucking in at the back of the armrests.
Leg rest lever feels a little short/narrow. Its the only thing I worry about at all. We got an extender and slid it down onto the handle quite a way for more stability. It still wiggles a little but it also makes moving the footrest up and down a lot easier (we arent aged or infirm so Im not sure about how this will work for people facing physical challenges).
Overall, this is a fabulous piece of furniture on day 1 and 2. Will update if things go sideways.
I did a LOT of research to find a chair that was super heavy duty AND didnt cost a fortune but didnt look like something youd want to immediately hide with a cover either. The shipping was easy to arrange, fast shipping and friendly service by the delivery crew. The chairs (yes, we bought 2 of them) were carefully packaged. We received them quickly and there was no shipping damage at all. The chairs are like sitting on a cloud according to my husbandI think they are very, very firm. When we sit in the chairs, there isnt any wiggling or squeakingnicely made. Id say its a good value for a well made recliner. I would purchase again.
Never thought Id order furniture online. Pleasant experience! The chair arrived when said it would arrive (Prime: 2/days!).
6 3 220 lb guy satisfied with this chair. Its firm but comfortable! My feet just touch the floor surface when sitting upright (seat is 22 high). Reclines fine although the handle motion is a bit stiff should loosen up over time. Some may want to get the extender to attach to the handle if your upper body strength is not there (or if you have shorter arms). My feet (heels) barely hang over the end piece when reclining somewhat or all the way back. Very nice! There is some unsupported leg space between the chair and the end piece (solid board just below that space). Doesnt bother me at all very comfortable! If I wanted to, I could throw a pillow there but Im good as is.
Assembly is OK. Directions were somewhat unclear and mainly unreadable. Fortunately, the average person should be able to figure it out. Its pretty simple. I would recommend 2/people for assembly. We (wife and I in our 60s) had the chair unboxed and assembled in less than 20/minutes.
Seems like a solid chair and I like how it looks. Nearly fell a sleep in it while reading after setting it up. Looking forward to watching football!
I needed a rolling chair for my makeup vanity in the master bath. I like that this chair has no arms, so it pushes under the vanity nicely. Its comfortable enough to sit on while I put on makeup and style my hair.
very comfy and big enough as advertised. Im trying to find a matching height couch with no success. The only issues Im having are keeping my dogs off of it and not falling asleep in it.
This recliner is very comfortable. I am only 53 and certainly not the large person it was designed for, but I love its roominess, color, and overall attractiveness. The lever that makes it recline is somewhat stiff, but the extender I bought makes operating it much easier. Very happy with this purchase.
Bought this chair for my small desk since its in the living room / I wanted a pretty chair but comfort is key since I sit for hours doing work/ easy assembly / beautiful color/ comfortable and sways back just the right amount when I need it to since majority of my work I sit up. so its a nice break. Love this chair.
UPDATE: 2022 chair is still great / just not ideal for posture when sitting for as long as I do for work.

Massive chair for an average size person. LOVE IT

Very Firm Seat for TALL person

The shipping was easy to arrange, fast shipping and friendly service by the delivery crew. The chairs (yes, we bought 2 of them) were carefully packaged.

Good value
I needed a rolling chair for my makeup vanity in the master bath. I like that this chair has no arms, so it pushes under the vanity nicely. Its comfortable enough to sit on while I put on makeup and style my hair.
Im 68 and it fits great.
very comfy and big enough as advertised. Im trying to find a matching height couch with no success. The only issues Im having are keeping my dogs off of it and not falling asleep in it.
For big and tall men
This is definitely a recliner that is made for a big and tall man. Very sturdy and at a great price
To glad we purchased
It is a nice chair
Very comfortable / even for a small person
This recliner is very comfortable. I am only 53 and certainly not the large person it was designed for, but I love its roominess, color, and overall attractiveness. The lever that makes it recline is somewhat stiff, but the extender I bought makes operating it much easier. Very happy with this purchase.
Good choice
Easy to assemble, 62 300lbs, extremely comfortable, lots of room.
Pretty comfortable
Bought this chair for my small desk since its in the living room / I wanted a pretty chair but comfort is key since I sit for hours doing work/ easy assembly / beautiful color/ comfortable and sways back just the right amount when I need it to since majority of my work I sit up. so its a nice break.
