Purchased this chair for my elderly mom.  Shipped quickly and was well packed.  It was not easy to put together, but now that it's done, mom loves it.  The tan color is really nice -- very neutral and light.  The faux leather is very soft, and I think it will hold up better than fabric.  Lift takes some time, but it seems to do the job well.  Heat and vibration are a bonus.  This is an excellent chair for the price.
