Acme Furniture Arcadia Recliner in Light Brown

I really hate all the reviews that were posted. I almost didn't buy this chair, but the price sucked me in. 1st, I bought the chair because of its size and someone's review that stated perfect for a smaller room. Well, it is perfect for a smaller room. Mine. I wanted a smaller recliner that I could put in my room for reading purposes. I hated lying down with pillows. Uncomfotable... So 1 reviewer stated it didn't come with hardware and they are right, the screws did not come in the box, however I can still use my chair without them since you slide the back in place. I carefully without using a heavy hand gently pulled out the handle and my chair reclined nicely. I pulled my legs down slowly to close the recline and no problems. Maybe the screws have something to do with the problem, I don't know but haven't needed to put wd-40 either which I was fully prepared to do. My daughter wanted me to get one of these from big lots but I stuck to my guns and bought and love this chair. I am always careful and not rough with my things so I see me having this chair for a while. I am a165 lb women, 53 years old. Chair fits me perfect and I can read more comfortably and take a little snooze if I want to. Love this chair and the price. Be careful with this chair and you will have it a long time. If anything changes I will let you know.. Chair feels sturdy as far as the frame goes, doesn't squeak at all. Filling is firm so you won't sink in it. Great chair for the price. I would definitely recommend. My inspiration was my son was born in Arcadia, California... Great Arcadia Recliner...

This recliner came packed into a 3'-square, 75 pound box. Assembly of the back portion is a snap - slide the rails together and they click, no tools needed! Very nice. The upholstery is a warm brown, textured surface which I liken to corduroy - but almost a little slick, like velour can be. Comfortable padding in the right places. Arrived in just two days from order, thanks Prime!Now, there are two serious cons in my eyes:1) The lever which controls the leg rest is ridiculously arranged. When you pull the lever the leg rest SLAMS out, and bangs to a stop at the end of its travel. The spring is way, way too strong - I am a 6'3" man who can leg-press over 600 pounds, and I can barely close the leg rest while sitting in the chair. A good old fashioned hand lever - to both open and close the leg rest - would be 20 times better. Also, my wife fears to operate the lever because it feels like it's going to break - so she leaves the leg rest up 100% of the time. That makes it a little difficult to get in and out of the chair.2) Seat width/proportion - I am a 260-pound, 6'3" male and when I sit in this chair my hips/thighs area is constricted. Also I have long arms, but the arm rests are about 6" lower than the recliner it replaced. If you are a smaller/slimmer build this may not be a problem for you, but I feel that the description/specifications provided on the website don't do it justice in the real world.All in all, think of this as a Lazy-Boy-LITE clone. If you can live with the two cons I listed, not bad for the price.

This a great little recliner! Not too big, just right for those corner spaces where you want a chair but not one of those massive things with all the gizmos that you have to put a foot or more away from a wall to keep it from banging it up. This is also a good chair for older folks too since you don't sink 12 feet down into a pit when you sit in it! On top of that it is very comfortable to sit or recline in. (I nearly fell asleep in it when I tried it out!) It is actually much more comfortable than many of the chairs I tried out in the furniture store or department store that cost 3 or 4 times as much. The only drawback is the limited color selection but since this is a fairly nuetral color it wasn't a problem for me. The only assembly is sliding the back onto the frame and it's quite easy to do. The chair doesn't weigh a ton either yet it seems very sturdy and well made. I compared it to the $99 recliner Sears was offering at the local store and this chair is way better! The fabric and stitching on this chair is much better and delivery was free. (Sears isn't of course). The Sears promo recliner is junk next to this chair. I saved a whopping $163 over the next cheapest recliner ($259) at the local furniture store because they charge $89 for delivery and then sales tax too. If I had room for two I'd buy another!
