- Looks very expensive, great fabric and sturdy. I was concerned with the review saying it was too small and uncomfortable when reclined. I really have to disagree! My husband is 6ft 220lbs, he says it’s very comfortable. Super easy to put together. Perfect yellowish green color, perfect addition to our home.
- This chair is really cute and nice for the price. My only complaint would be that it doesn’t stay fully reclined without the person sitting in it pressing back constantly. I got the muted blue and think it is a nice color-though not really muted. I’d just call it blue.
- I love this chair! Its smaller than most recliners. I'm a short person and it it very comfortable for me. My feet actually touch the floor when I'm just sitting in it. I purchased the red one and the color is just what I wanted for the den. Great price great chair!

- Ok so excited to review this because it is more than I expected! Exceptional quality, easy to put together, and absolutely comfortable! Needless to say it’s a beautiful color and chair! So happy I purchased it! I must have read every single review and now I understand why it is reviewed so highly! Don’t hesitate on this one!
- So comfortable, beautiful color, and love that it rocks and reclines. Makes night time snuggles with the baby so comfortable, especially when I accidentally fall asleep on it in the middle of the night. The back is tall enough that I can rest my head comfortably and not wake up with a kinked neck. I love this chair!
- I got this glider for our nursery and I couldn’t be happier! Easy to put together, beautiful color, and very cozy... trust me, I had to sleep in it with my newborn for over a month. A (Imagine crying laughing) but really, I did, and I nurse in it every day, still very cozy and really holds up! Great buy!

- I LOVE this rocker. The most comfortable rocker I’ve ever sat it. I’m 5’3” and most seats don’t support my head or back but this supports both. I could sleep in this chair. Quiet and smooth. I got it in the canvas color, which is a little creamier than I was expecting, but still very pretty and could easily go boho.
- Easy to assemble and came packaged well. I love the canvas color. My feet barely touch the ground though, I’m just at 5’ feet tall. They angle of the back leans back pretty far so I will need to add a lumbar pillow. The style is simple and doesn’t over take the living room. Very comfortable!
- It was a breeze to put together- the easiest piece of nursery furniture you will assemble! The light grey is the perfect color as well. Probably the best thing about the chair is the higher back which makes it perfect for my tall husband. Can’t wait to rock our sweet baby in this chair!

- Love the look. The color is darker than it shows in my pictures, and does have a slight green tint Not as comfortable as a lazy boy, but very comfortable for what they are. My 62 husband hangs off the recliner a little, but he still says its comfortable. Perfect recliner for a smaller space
- I bought this for our beach house, to fit in a small bedroom. The color is exactly what it appeared to be online and the quality is awesome. Seriously, how can this chair be so inexpensive? Great buy. Can be put together in about 10 minutes. Super easy.
- The size and color are perfect for a small space in my living room. As in other reviews the back flap is hard to keep the Velcro in place which makes the flap hangs loose. I just added my own Velcro in a different spot to help keep it in place.

- It's just the right size. Not too big and imposing. The color is a gorgeous soft beige. Only the back needed to be assembled onto the chair and it was easy and fast. It slides into a rail on each side and then bolts from the bottom. And it is very comfortable to sit in.
- This chair was perfect for my son's nursery. I absolutely love it! It's so comfortable. Anyone who comes in the room and sits in it has a hard time getting up. The fabric is soft and smooth, and of great quality. I got the navy color which is a very rich, true navy blue. The assembly was SUPER easy.
- Love the chair. I bought the frozen blue color. Beautiful color and upholstery is so soft. Perfect size if you have a small house or small room. Puts my great grandson to sleep in minutes. Arms are perfect height to cradle him. It’s a perfect chair. Which is what everyone who sites in it says. Love my chair.

- Looks exactly as pictured and was easy to assemble. Three screws were missing, for a wood piece on the bottom part of the chair, but easy enough to replace. Sits very low. If you have knee problems, you might want to keep looking. Otherwise, it’s extremely comfortable and quite good quality.
- It is very comfortable so far and the quality seems to be very good with nothing to complain about. I also like the wooden support being beautifully made and the the wood quality excellent. It is easy to change positions and rotate. Glad I bought 2 of them before they spold out or go of sale.
- We are so happy with the Eudy Manual Swivel Recliner we just bought from you all. It’s easy for me to move around and very comfortable. My husband and I both are pleased with the quality of this chair and so happy with the quick delivery we received. SPB

This was the last purchase we needed for our nursery for our new baby. I ordered at the hospital and had ready to roll by the time we got home 3 days later. MAMA BEAR LOVES!!

- Nice chair; easy assembly and fits perfectly in a smaller space...yet comfortable, perfect for smaller folks such as ourselves, yet I think it is roomy enough for the larger among us also. As a first time purchase through Wayfair, we are very pleased with the price and quality of our purchase.
- It’s is the perfect size for the space I needed and the quality is good for the price. My only complaint is that my legs need to be a little longer when the leg extinction is let out because it hits at the back of my ankles which is uncomfortable
- I have to admit that this was one of the best purchase I have made online. The shipping was free and the chairs arrived in two days just as promised. The chairs are comfortable, good quality, and no minimum assembly required (the legs needed to be screwed in).

- This chair was a fantastic purchase. It's easy to put together, nice quality, very comfortable and is priced affordably. I would recommend this chair and plan on buying another one. We bought this as a gift for my son and daughter in-law.
- It was just as it said. Quality was great, color just perfect - The only issue I had was it is hard for me to recline the chair I am only 4'9 but besides that it was a fantastic purchase and looks great in our family room. Thank you - Diana

- IT had a small scratch near the foot in front, but not worth exchanging for. My husband is finally comfortable sitting through a whole movie. Which is what I was hoping for when I bought it for him. Great puchase, especially for the price.
- It is a very nice chair for the price but just needs to express it is on the small side. Im not dissatisfied but it was smaller than expected. Even have a friend that said they are going to order one :)
- This chair is excellent for the price. It is a little small so if you’re bigger than 200-225 lbs this probably isn’t the chair for you. I like it and it works great in my small space.

- Cant beat these for the price. Just got them so we will see how they hold up. LOVE the color. The only negative I think they sit a bit far back when up right but my husband doesnt think so. Good buy
- This is ok. When the chair is not reclined I feel like it leans back too far. But, it is comfortable and you cant beat the price.
- Wonderful little recliner, very well made and the price, unreal, I would most definitely recommend this. The fabric is upscale too, not cheap !looking at all. I will however be putting Scot h guard on it because of the light color I chose.

- This chair is perfect for the price. It is comfortable and works well. We did not pay attention to the dimensions before we purchased it so I would warn others that it is a small chair. It would not be comfortable for anyone over 6ft to lay back and relax.
- I absolutely love this recliner! It was a great purchase for my small condo! I love the massage feature but it would have been a bit better if it massaged the upper back as well. Overall, amazing chair with an even better price! Will totally buy from here again!
- Arrived quick and it was a good price! I’m 5’2 so the size is good but I don’t have much room to bend my knees. Also I have to put effort to lay down and keep it down. After a while the vibrations of the chair are more annoying than relaxing.

- It is a great chair for the price! The only thing I would change is I wish it was a little higher or there was a hydralic system because I wanted to use as a desk chair also but its a little low.
- I am old and so don't get out to get a massage like when I was younger and was so pleased with all the massage functions. It is quite to so for the price I am a happy camper.
- I hated this chair when I was trying to put it together. Some of the holes just don't match up. It is pretty comfortable and I like the "massage" part. Overall I am satisfied with it for the price.
