This is one of the lowest-priced chairs on the list. That doesn’t make it lower quality, though. It’s also one of the most stylish. With black faux leather, this chair is handsome and much more elegant looking than the other chairs. The trade-off with this is that it doesn’t have the warm and inviting feel of a pillow top fabric such as what the RevoluXion has. That doesn’t mean that it’s not comfortable, but if you want maximum lounging potential with your chair then you might want to pick one of the other options.

One good thing about faux leather is that it will clean up a lot easier than other fabric. So, if you have messy kids or maybe if you’re messy it might be the best option for you. You can keep the chair clean and looking new without having to resort to shampooing it or other cleaning methods.

The chair only supports a traditional reclining setting. If you want a chair that can be set to different positions, then you want to buy another chair such as the RevoluXion.

It is a rather large chair and that is both a good thing and a bad thing. That just depends on how you look at it. The recliner has a lot of room to sit in, but it’s also a heavy-duty recliner and probably too large for small areas.

That’s considerable weight and you might need some help installing it.

That might be an important feature for you and is something to think about.

It still doesn’t have a multi-positioning system. If you didn’t like the idea of not having multiple positions to choose from while lounging for the Comfort King, then you’ll be disappointed by this chair too.
