Which is better for a house with pets or kids?

The Verve. Its faux leather surface wipes clean, while the corduroy on the 9588GRN-1PB traps hair and stains. Neither is a hard-wearing workhorse, but the Verve is easier to keep tidy.

Which has the more comfortable seat?

The 9588GRN-1PB uses foam over pocket coils, which gives more spring. The Verve uses plain foam. The Verve's seat is about an inch wider and deeper, so taller shoppers may prefer it.

Both use a plywood or solid wood frame with a metal-reinforced seat and a 300 lb rating. The Verve's faux leather can crack or peel over time, while corduroy wears thin. Expect similar frame life; the cover is the weak point on each.

Is the Verve worth $40 more?

Yes if you want wipe-clean upholstery, a bigger seat and easier assembly. No if you want the softer fabric feel and pocket-coil seating; then the 9588GRN-1PB at $189.00 is the better buy.

Will either fit in a small room?

The 9588GRN-1PB is 27 in wide and reclines to 61 in; the Verve is 29 in wide and reclines to 59 in. Both need clear space behind them, and the 9588GRN-1PB lists 16.5 in of back clearance.

Do both recline the same way?

Yes. Both are push-back recliners with no buttons or levers: you lean back to recline. Neither rocks, swivels, glides or lifts.
