It is everything promised in the description. The ability to lift just the footrest is great. It fully reclines to nap. The seat lift is wonderful. The feel of the fabric is very nice. It was easy to put together, one grandma, one mom and one 11 year old girl. The hardest part for us was getting it in the house. I would definitely recommend this recliner. It is a little heavy so it would be nice to have a strong guy to help, but us girls managed just fine. The chair is for my fiancé who is 6 feet tall, and it fits him well.
