Ok so i got my recliner in today. It was super easy to assemble. I just slide the back on and that was it. The first thing i noticed about it was it is alot darker than the photos on here. Mine is the color of dark chocolate. I thought it would be more of a walnut or buck skin look. It sits a bit too far forward rite now but so do most recliners until they get worn in. The mechanism is extremely easy to use and i can use my legs to close it very easily. The chair so far is very quiet rocking and reclining and it is so comfortable. I highly recommend buying one. I will update this review later on.
