Since my surgery, I have practically lived in our old recliner. It was worn out and about fifteen years old. Add to that the fact that it was not a very expensive chair and what we had was basically a mini torture chamber!! It was terribly uncomfortable. We simply had to do something about it. We have not had new furniture in YEARS so it was time. We went to a local store and the Princess proceeded to sit on about twenty different pieces!!! HA!!!!!!!!!!!!! She had the sales guy wandering around the entire place!!! Finally found what she wanted. They are really beautiful pieces. The sofa is more of a love seat but it has TWO built-in recliners. The reclining chairs are fabulous. VERY big and plush ! They are remarkably comfortable and really make a difference.
