Flash Furniture Allie LeatherSoft Upholstered Recliner with Ottoman Footrest, Padded Swiveling Recliner Chair and Ottoman Set, Beige

Ordered Wed night had it by Fri morning, correct product delivered too. All pieces accounted for and intact. Easy to put together but preferred using socket wrench for bolts when possible (10, 12, 13mm) it's just less annoying and you can get things good and secure (comes with the usual Allen wrench and funky sheet metal wrench tools though). It is handy to have a second person available for certain steps but not absolutely necessary. The arm attachments, oddly enough, were the trickiest to align and get the bolts to thread, everything else was straightforward and went to plan.Instructions are minimal (6 diagrams, pictured). The only uncertainty I encountered was deciphering between the sets of bolts that are the same length. Add some common sense and it all works out though. The lighter weight narrower gauge bolts hold the arms, the heavier weight thicker gauge bolts go to the ottoman.Appearance is as portrayed. Definitely not leather at this price point, shouldn't be expected anyway. Generally a light beige-ish color, not quite cream but close. Roughly 50 pounds, slides easily along the carpet when I want to move it. Decent size for a small space.It is comfortable. Husband is 6'1" 170, I am 5'4" 135 and we're both generally comfortable sitting in the chair. It is, as indicated elsewhere, a bit low to the ground for him whereas I am enjoying being able to have my feet touch the ground for once (this would not be a great chair for anyone who struggles to get up unassisted between being so low down and lightweight). Swivel works just fine, 360 degrees. Reclines as intended. Does not fully recline, it's more of a sitting upright or inclined back to about 45 degrees (otherwise it'd tip). I am more comfortable sitting with it inclined. My shoulders are exactly below the line of the head cushion so when sitting completely upright it tends to make my head want to tilt forward causing neck strain. Leaning back however the back is perfect and even has some lumbar support going on. The cushion holds my head at the right inclination to read or work on the computer pretty comfortably. The ottoman is a bit tippy to the left and right, don't rely on it to do more than hold your feet while you relax.

It is what it is, an inexpensive chair, and being so it got 4 stars out of 5. Made in china. Looks great, easy to assemble, comfortable to sit and relax in. Does sit low to the floor, so its not the easiest to get out of ( seniors perspective). Something to consider... the swival is not on ball bearings, but on a plastic slide rail, so it feels and sounds like its grinding as it turns. Longevity of the swival system's questionable. Compared to a more expensive chair ($500+) it would be rated at a 2-3... but for the money its worth it. Reclining mechanism is similar to that of a reclining lawn chair verses a more expensive recliner. All in all, good for the money, but it is what it is. So far so good. Life expectancy is certainly ... well, its not going to be a family heirloom.

This is the most comfortable chair that I’ve ever bought. I sit in it all day and I’m comfortable the whole time. My back no longer hurts. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in purchasing it. This is actually the second time I’ve bought this chair. I gave my old one to a friend and bought myself a new one. It holds up extremely well with constant usage.

Have had this chair and ottoman about 3 weeks & love it! It's very comfortable, love the color & style & find it hard to stay awake when I'm in it! I'm trying to talk my husband into getting one too. He has a hideous blue velour LazyBoy recliner sitting in the living room that is beyond ugly, so I'll keep working on him! Believe it or not, this entire chair & ottoman was extremely well packed into one box. Had a friend put it together in about 20-30 minutes. He was impressed with it too & will probably be getting one himself!This is an update on my previous 5* review. I have a auto-immune bone disease & purchased this chair as I need to lie down several times a day & thought this chair would be perfect to use for that purpose, & it was! Until last week when I realized it would no longer recline. I am a broken hearted 81 yr old lady extremely disappointed in my purchase. I have purchased other items of furniture from Amazon with no problems, as I am unable to stand long enough to go out shopping, & their prices are good. In fact I purchase almost everything I need from them as it just makes my life so much simpler. But I won't buy furniture from them anymore. The chair is very attractive but what I need is to be able to recline for my rest & to watch TV. Looks like I will be bedridden sooner than I thought. I really regret that I had to change my review.
