Signature Design by Ashley Navi Rocker Recliner in Chestnut

This recliner works. I am a 280 lb. man and require a sturdy chair. This is the 3rd recliner I have purchased in the last 6 months for around the same price. The first two were garbage and were broken/unusable within 4 weeks. Both had "weight ratings" of at least 300 lbs. These weight ratings cannot be trusted. I specifically wanted the old fashioned side pull lever to avoid having to "slam" the recliner shut with my legs. I believe the side pull tab type recliners are prone to breaking due to the violent way you have to close them. Not so with the Navi. You simply lean forward slightly and use the side lever to fully close the chair to get up. Also, the cushion, backrest, and arm padding is great for a bigger person. Finally, a chair for a bigger dude. Love it!

My wife forced me to replace my beloved Teddy Bear recliner bc it was so worn and dirty. Searched for replacement online for quite some time. Navi is close in configuration. Polyester fabric looks and feels very nice. Gray is pretty dark. I like the lever to raise & lower the foot support; other recliners require you to use your legs to slam the footrest down. The back forces your head forward when not reclined, but I have gotten used to it. Firm seat, which I hope will soften with use. I am big person (300 lbs) and so many recliners' seats are narrow like airplane seats; the Navi provides lots of room between the arms and I don't feel cramped. Construction seems sturdy, but I've only had it 2 weeks. I would recommend this recliner, which is reasonably priced, to anyone looking for a reliable, roomy, sturdy recliner.
