So my want list was not easy to find. My new recliner had to have a roomy seat, stand up lift assist, and lay flat ability. Oh, and it needed to support my 6 foot 1 inch, and 260 lbs. This chair meets all my needs, with a few extra features, such as massage, heat, and drink cup holders. And because of past back injuries, along with current severe arthritis, this is not just a recliner, but is also my bed. As a matter of fact, since we bought two of these, my wife also uses hers as a bed, due to past back injuries. The chairs also include a nice matching pillow, that is meant for additional lumbar support, but also works well as a pillow for your head. So if your “must have” list is anything like mine, do not hesitate to buy this chair. You will not be disappointed at all. I should also mention that the assembly of the chairs is very simple and straight forward. Took me about 20 or 30 minutes each, taking my time.
