Classic Leather Manual Recliner Chair

Pull the lever and the footrest rises to a TV position; lean back and the backrest opens anywhere from 110 to 145 degrees, with no fixed stops to fight. Breathable faux leather wipes clean, the pillow back and lumbar padding hold you upright rather than swallowing you, and the hidden cup holders stay out of sight until needed — the stainless inserts lift out for washing. Inside is a wood frame on a steel base rated to 350 pounds, and assembly is three snap-together pieces with no tools. At 37 inches square it sits close to a wall and still reclines fully, which makes it a sensible pick for a corner. Two honest notes from owners: the grey has a weathered, slightly brown cast in person, and the cushions are firm — good news if you dislike sinking in, worth knowing if you don't.
