Flash Furniture Allie LeatherSoft Upholstered Recliner with Footrest, Arms, and Headrest, Padded Swivel Recliner Chair and Ottoman Set, Brown Vintage

Comfortable and Wife loves it. We bought this 2nd one for our 2nd home.

For someone with pinched nerves and arthritis in my spine this chair has been great for the years I have had it.I made an adjustable platform stand with a nice finished wood around the 2x4s to put underneath it to get my knees at a 90 degree angle and I use this as an office chair for work and gaming.My only reason for not being 5* like most other chairs like this available is that it uses faux leather instead of fabric or real leather, so it has started peeling.I tried to go back to a standard office chair and could not… I am looking at a chair cover now to keep using and put off replacing a bit longer.

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.

Pros: Easy to assemble, 6 of 10 on comfort in the upright sitting position.Cons: The color is more tan than beige. Darker than appears online. It's not very comfortable in the reclining position as there isn't much lumbar support. Also, isn't smooth when setting the recliner & bringing it back to sitting position.Overall I'd give it 5 of 10. I believe there are much better options for a fraction more and with genuine leather.If it wasn't such a pain I'd return it.

This chair is not worth it. I've completely rewritten my review based upon 10 weeks of modest use.Originally written on June 3 follows in abbreviated and relevant manner.Comfort: I've had the chair for 10 days as of this writing. I work at home and sometimes put in long hours, and my office is also where I spend a good bit of my recreation time. This chair is very comfortable...for a couple of hours, after which it starts to put a lot of pressure on your tailbone, shifting the tilt of the chair or its back does little to alleviate the pressure and you have to get up and give your butt a rest. Its basically not a chair you can spend long hours sitting in, which may be a good thing as it will urge you to get up and move around for a bit. However for my needs that is more of an annoyance than a plus and its not a chair I would recommend watching more than a single movie in for that reason, let alone working on the computer for any real period of time. The price is fair for what you get, but if you're looking for something you can sit in for longer periods of time than 2 hours at a stretch, I'd recommend something else.Update Aug 17This chair has seen on average a 3-5 hour use on a daily basis, anywhere from 2-3 hours at a stretch. For the purpose of full disclosure, I am 6' and weigh 252lbs, I do not "fall into" my chairs and this one rested on a solid tile surface with zero rocking and making very little use of its reclining feature. As I said above, though I work from home, this chair is only comfortable for relatively brief periods of time, I frequently had to resort to making use of my laptop from my couch as I found the chair taxing for longer periods of time. Today while in the process of looking for a replacement, I noticed a couple of wooden chips at the base of the chair's swivel ring. Investigation revealed that the alan bolts had become loose and tightening them produces sounds telling me that the wood in which these are driven into is of low quality and cracking around the bolts. In contrast, I had used a Mac Motion chair for 5 YEARS, daily, for up to 10 hrs at a stretch during my busiest period before the chair started to lose its foundation strength. The Mac-Motion chair at the time was 2x the cost of this one, and I repeat, saw significantly heavier use and lasted 5 years!I contacted a carpenter friend of mine to have a look at the chair and asked him his opinion of the worth of repairing it. His reply is a direct quote "Cheap Chinese crap like this isn't worth the price of materials to repair it, its structurally unsound and will continue to fall apart someplace else. Ditch it and buy something that's made with some honest pride." I tend to agree, all this cheap, Chinese product line is a blight for US consumers and should be avoided. I've downgraded my initial rating from 3 to one star based upon relatively light use for 10 weeks. It was never particularly comfortable, and is of very low quality. Spend your money elsewhere.

When I purchased this (of course this isn't one of those made of real leather but close enough) I knew if it lasted a few years, i would be very happy.. This one lasted over 8. The real ones are 5 times the cost but do i really need a real leather chair?? Especially when kids are on the loose? Nope. I am going to buy another one of these. I am extremely happy with both the quality, ease of assembly and the length of time this would last. It exceeded my expectation. I am a returning customer. And I dont write reviews until I put the item to work for few years. This one.. lasted over 8. EXCELLENT chair for the money!
