Bought 2 recliners from big lots and one is stilling going ok with my gentle 120lb wife's exclusive use. The other one was doing ok untill I fell asleep in it one time. (280lbs) when I awoke the arm was pushed out 2" and the footrest was bent. When I flipped it over I found it has some thin steel support and cheap utility osb combined with decent laminated plywood. The cheap stuff gave out. The material covering is fine. I am writing to them to see if they make a stronger model and if so might try them again. But in the future I will be flipping furniture upside down for inspection before purchase. I also feel I'm not that upset because I paid big lot price not furniture store price.
