I wish he bought the recliner in leather. I bought an American Leather recliner 15 yrs ago in red, it's clean lines and very well made and I still love it..leather couch and chair already delivered? If not, I would switch. If you can't return or cancel, I would move the leather chair somewhere else in the house and then bring a recliner in its place bc I couldn't do 3 leather pieces in one room. In regards to other pretty recliners, I dwr has modern looking ones but not sure if that fits your style and they don't look too comfortable..sorry I hope you find something
