Purchase the Homall recliner version instead if you can find it cheap.
There's a new chair smell that is horrible. I would leave it outside to air out but we've had thunderstorms for the past several days. I wouldn't even recommend this chair as a theater chair because the cushioning provided is too firm. I will just plain come out and say that this chair is not designed for the average American owner and is more fit for a small chinese person who is under 5' 5 and is skinny. I read through the instructions hoping I could adjust the back of the seat to raise a few inches higher but it's not possible as far as I know. If the chair was a hundred dollars or less I would recommend to someone who is skinny and not over 5 foot 7. For the high price being asked I strongly suggest you keep looking for something better. I don't want to return because I have went weeks without a decent recliner, and returning this chair would mean I have to purchase another and wait another week or even longer for it to arrive.
UPDATE: Thank you for understanding and accepting a return the next day. We did some searching and purchased the Esright Massage Recliner Chair instead which was more than double the price of this recliner. We figured the chair would last for years and is worth paying extra.
