I have looked at many lift chairs and they tend to be very expensive. Also, many are not very comfortable. This chair definately hits the sweet spot in comfort, studiness, features, and price. It looks great, and is very comfortable. The hand controls are especially useful for those who are unable to reach under the arm (which is usually the place for electric recliner controls). The lift puts the chair in an almost upright position so is a great help when trying to stand. Both the lift and the reclining occurs slowly as to not cause injury, and the motor is very quiet. Assembling the chair is fairly simple, just align the connectors on the arms and back with those on the base and push idown to lock nto place. The padding on the arms have zippers on them to keep them in place (as well as velcro covers to hide the zippers).
The only disavantage I see is that the chair has to be kept about 21 inches from the wall to allow it to fully recline, but I would NOT deduct a full star because of this. Definately worth a try!
Great Recliner/Lifter for the Price!
