This chair looks really nice and seems to be good quality, and maybe ours is a one-off; but it is almost impossible to get it to recline! I have to get both my feet in the seat and kind of jump against the back to recline to the first position - which is nice but not a REAL relaxing amount of leaning back. If I want to lean all the way back (which is pretty nice), I have to push against the foot rest the entire time with my feet to keep the back down in that position. NOT the MOST relaxed I've ever been in a recliner... The upside is, when I want to sit up - I can just take my feet off and I go back to the first reclined spot. And when I want to sit up (which is VERY straight, btw), I just barely lean forward and I'm up like a shot! All in all, at least for our experience, this is NOT a relaxing recliner at all. I called Member's Mark member services and they were wonderful to already take care of us with no trouble at all. I'm disappointed, though, in my chair... it looks nice in my den but now I have to find something else I actually enjoy sitting in!

I just received this recliner today and it looks great. It is a bit small but that works for me since it is going in a guest room so it scales nicely. I don't think this is a good choice for an everyday "Favorite" chair. It is great quality for the money, it would cost 3 times as much in a retail furniture store.

This is an overpriced item, again advertised as Leather in the title when it is bonded leather. It is NOT a "shocking value" as it is just a fabric chair. "Bonded leather, also called reconstituted leather or blended leather, is a term used for a man-made upholstery material made as a layered structure of a fiber or paper backer, a pulp made from shredded leather, and a polyurethane coating which is embossed with a leather-like texture."

Let's start out by calling this chair what it is. It is the Abbyson living Carla chair. Even the box shows the same info. WN-1055-BRN-1. So yourself a favor and save some money and buy direct from the manufacturer if this is the chair for you. It is on the smaller side for a tall person and requires 12” to recline by a wall. The color in all advertising shows a mixed beautiful brown tone. The chair almost looks like the black one. I've included photos of all 3 together. Disappointed

We purchased this chair 3 1/2 years ago and the "leather" is peeling off like bad wallpaper. It is not leather, it is "bonded" leather which means fake leather made like pressed wood is made. Research bonded leather and it will tell you it will start coming apart in 2-5 years. Would not have wasted our money on this chair. Went out today and bought a 100% top grain leather chair like this and it will last a long, long time longer than this one did (granted it was more expensive but if you account for this chair needing replaced every 3 years or so a real leather one is worth the higher cost up front. Notice in all of the descriptions it states "Braxton Leather Recliner"....read the fine print to find out it is bonded leather (which still leads you to believe it is real leather). We didn't understand the "bonded" leather thing and thought we were buying a real leather chair.

This recliner is made of an inexpensive bonded leather (hence the low price) - but it recliner looks great and it's fairly small as recliners go - which was important factor for the space I wanted to use it. It was easy to put together (comes in two parts - back attaches to chair base) and sits well . . . but if you actually want to recline - do not get this one! 1) It doesn't recline all the way (suppine/flat on back) - at best I'd guess it goes back maybe 120-130 degree. Of course, a lot of recliners don't actually lay flat, so that may not be a problem for you - BUT . . . 2) It won't stay in a reclined position! I push back as far as it will go and it simply won't hold the position. Other's' have made the same observation, so it's got to be a design flaw. In order to stay in the reclined position, I have to push back and the shift my entire body up high onto the back of the chair, and even then it feels tenuous at best - like I'm constantly having to fight to keep it from moving back to the upright position. So be forewarned . . . this chair looks nice if you want a chair - but don't buy it if you actually want to recline. Recliner's are for relaxing - but this one is more like a workout.

I was very impressed when I received the chair . it was so easy to assemble. I am 5"2 always had a problem with my other recliner chairs and I had to use a cushion for my back .this one is very comfortable and perfect size for me I don't need to use a cushion. Thank You

We purchased 2 of these for our library. They are very comfortable and easy to put together (yes, some assembly required - but no tools)! We had one leg that looks to be cracked but otherwise, all are functional and the chairs are very comfortable and look great!

I am 5'5” and well under the weight limit for this chair. This chair is to small for me. I was disappointed to say the least. It fits my 7 year old Grandson better. Great chair for a smaller stature person. I recommend this chair for someone under my height. No one any taller than me. I will give four stars for quality. Just way to small for me.

It doesn't stay back when reclining in laying position
