The Almeira has been our premier reclining suite for almost ten years and has been sold into numerous homes and businesses with excellent customer feedback. The suite is covered in durable bonded leather although faux leather match is used on the lower stress areas including, but not limited to, the back and sides of the chair. The seat is foam filled for ultimate comfort. The mechanisms are manually operated with a handle on the right-hand side of the armchair (as seated) and on either side of the matching 2 and 3 seat models. - Artemis Home Almeira 2 Seat Recliner Sofa in Burgundy
