The issue with a manual recliner that is fabric is always the transfer of oil or dirt on the hands to the fabric arms. Be advised.

These are Crate & Barrel below.

West Elm & Pottery Barn are a good source also.

Ashley has one that looks like a Mission style chair, but I've only seen it in leather.

I just searched on Wayfair, and they have tons of recliners, a good portion of them chair like, and not recliner ugly.

We bought an Ashley recliner. I knew better, but hubby fell in love with it. It barely lasted 18 months before it broke.

This is exactly what I want to avoid.... I'm fine with paying more for a push back recliner that will hold it's own for a while. Thank you for sharing your experience...
