The Journey is always a great sitting recliner that is suitable for those up to 6' 3" or so. It's plush, so I would not recommend upgrading the cushions to Ultra Down, might be too soft if you do. I also like to make a play on the name of this recliner and say "It's a Journey to a nap", because it's the kind of recliner you want to go to at the end of a long work day.
The leather on this piece is Town and Country promotional Document Tobacco. There are better choices. I said many years ago this is the Cheez-Whiz of leather and I still think so. It's artificial-looking with the highlights over-done, it's too shiny, and makes an classy chair look like something from La-Z-Boy. Yes, this is still 100% top grain leather and if you like the splotchy look and sheen, then go for it. I would suggest you spend slightly more and get a nicer hide, there are plenty to choose from.
