They are great for sitting up and reading, slightly reclined for a movie watching, or fully reclined. The design is remarkably compact and small footprint without sacrificing comfort. The bonded leather fabric is soft and comfortable.

Included tools are 2 allen wrenches and a small metal wrench for the nuts. The recline mechanism is pretty simple. Just pull out on the lever and use the body to move forward or recline.

The neutral color goes well with my rose-colored bedroom and bedding. It matches my living room suite, perfectly.

Mechanically the frame and swivel are still fine. It was boxed properly to make sure all contents were protected. Ordering second one shortly for guests.

Leather is peeling and cracking on even non weight bearing surfaces. The swivel bearing is absolute trash. The foot rest is tiny too and super lightweight.

The box indicates the color classification is beige, although online the product isn't described as beige. The actual product is not cream colored, rather its tan, as in light brown. For $400+ just buy something else imo.
