For the price , this is incredible value for a recliner swivel chair set. The chair is a bit of a pain to assemble but, once assembled, it looks great and feels even better.I was truly surprised by just how comfortable this chair is. For reference, I'm a 5'9" tall male who weighs 165 lb. The back rest is just high enough to support my head (though I wouldn't recommend this chair for anyone over 6'1") and my entire body feels comfortable when I sit down in the chair. The ottoman is for you to relax your leg while reclining on this leisure chair. The Comfortably padded gives comfort and support where it's needed the most. It is High quality thick sponge padded in neck, loin and back part. It could decrease the pressure your neck or back might have and release the muscle, gives you real relaxation and ultra comfort.It can reclining, rocking, massage and swiveling 360 degree allows for fun and easy movement in a complete circle, swivel mechanism for long lasting seating,perfect for you to have a rest.This armchair is significantly more comfortable than others that I've tried, over the years, which are several times more expensive.
