We were really pleased when our two chairs arrived. However, over the past few weeks, the chairs have gotten very noisy. The wood frames creak everytime you move and they sound like the frames are going to crack.
The footrests are manual, which we knew, and are difficult to put down but one seems like it has a problem
catching. My husband, who is a good size, often leaves it up most of the time because it takes him numerous times to put it down.
We paid enough for these chairs and are disappointed in the quality. 
We have previously ordered chairs from Wayfair and were thrilled with them. These have been a disappointment. 
I would return them if I could.
