Very nice recliner. This recliner is a manual. It also rocks and swivels 360. The rocking is very smooth. The photos are not doing the color justice because I have soft lighting in my house. It is a medium gray tone and very nice and upscale look. The leather is soft and supple. The back cushion is very soft and high rise which is good for taller people. The seat is slightly soft but a little more on the firmer side. It is also brand new so I would assume over time it will relax and break in a bit. The nailhead and rolled arm detail gives it a distinguished look of elegance. Overall this is very nice recliner and I would recommend it.

Why is this chair so hard to close Everything is great except it pops up hard and takes the abs of an 28 year old to close it.

The chairs were easy to assemble. The leather is soft and the glide is smooth. The color is a dark gray
