It has everything I need - good lighting, a pillow for my aching back, a place to rest my feet, a spot to sit my coffee, and a cord to charge the Nook, and it isn't TOO comfy. It doesn't recline and it's not conducive to slouching, so I'm less likely to doze instead of read. Not to say that never happens, but less than when I try to read in bed or on the couch.
The chair and it's mate belonged to my grandparents in the 1960's and early 70's, and to my in-laws from then till 2012, when they came to live with us, so it has a sentimental, nostalgic comfort that makes it my favorite spot in the world for reading.
