I bought this for my father who was hospitalized after months of misdiagnoses. He was extremely lucky and strong to have been able to walk out of the hospital. I knew he needed something comfortable at home that would allow him to ch age positions with the push of a button-or two. He absolutely LOVES IT! It allows him to get comfortable in whatever position he prefers at any given time. It was very easy to put together as well! I would highly recommend!!!
