Sensible choice, IMO, going for the telly.
The chairs also seemed to be mainly low backs which surprised me (maybe just the store I visited), I am 183 cm tall and they seemed to be designed for people shorter than me - with my feet on the ground my knees were higher than the chair seat. I thought the prices were ridiculous.
The funny thing is that for years I had wanted a recliner chair but my daughter has beautiful leather recliner chairs and sofa. In practice, when I stay there, I find I play with the recliner part for a while but always end up sitting upright with my feet on the ground so I have quite gone off them as a purchase. It is not that I am uncomfortable I just prefer sitting upright.

However what would I know? It could just be that pouffe sounds too much like pooftah.
