Love recliners, hate cheap-feeling ones, hate the aesthetic of the overstuffed ones. Stressless is a popular rec but I'm not into their separated ottoman design, and my wife doesn't like the looks of the powered ones. Is R&B the next best choice, or any other brands that stick out as BIFL?

Can't comment on R&B, but had stressless for the last 15 years, and really happy with them. It holds very well.

Yeah, I went and checked their stuff out in person. Feels really solid. What bummed me out is that their manual recliners require you to go with a separated ottoman that doesn't tuck away, and while the powered recliners do tuck the footrest away when not in use, I didn't really want to get a powered recliner if I could avoid it.
