It worked fine when I got it but then the head rest would not recline so that I could lay out flat. I bought a different recliner from Wayfare and it worked just great. This is a nice smaller recliner  that I would recommend for a smaller man or a woman. I am well below the maximum pounds it said the chair would hold,   And it was a tight fit. I still have it in my living room and it’s a quite comfortable just plain recliner.
