Virginia, you should easily be able to find a high quality recliner in your budget. Take a look at the H & M # 7053 Recliner for example. That one in Cavalier Mocha (a rich, darker brown) I sell for $ 1,263 plus shipping. Generally there are several high quality recliners available in the $ 1,000 to $ 1,500 range.
Best deals in the H&M line are posted here on the forum, in the 2009 Town and Country Collection under the LEATHER forum. You can see the photos and download the price sheet at the end.
