We bought two of these Ashley power reclining sofas for our small home theater over a year ago. They get a workout daily and have performed flawlessly. They really are designed and built well mechanically and electronically without cutting corners. I'm an engineer and I don't get impressed easily. I love that each of the three seat backs can be easily released and removed from the base making it much easier for two strong people to move it - in our case up the stairs and when I later added an elevated base for the rear sofa. The two slotted Qi wireless phone chargers in each sofa's armrests work great without overheating the smartphones like the one in our car always does. The phone charger slot liner lifts out for easy cleaning - I wish our car had that feature. Lastly, each armrest opens up to reveal a deep storage compartment. It's a good place to stow those gaming and TV remotes. When the center seat isn't occupied, its seat back easily converts to a flip-down flat "table" with two good sized cup holders. The center headrest lifts up to reveal two built-in, down-facing LED lamps each with its own touch-sensitive control that cycles between low, high, and off. The left and right seat positions are push button controlled recliners that can be set to nearly any angle - all the way to flat if you're so inclined (ha-ha!). The headrest is also push button controlled and I use it to help lift my head up and forward with the seat nearly fully reclined. It makes for a weirdly comfortable position to watch the big game and to easily doze off if it turns into a blowout. Lastly, the seats are slightly firm but not overly so. The faux leather surfaces clean up easily and seem durable enough. The sides aren't as durable and wont take the same level of abuse as the seats so keep the rug rats' sharp toys away. All in all, these sofas are certainly expensive, but in this case, you really do get what you pay for.
