I bought this for a family member who had broken their hip.   The chair came in one box and in two piece.  The back just slides into two brackets on the base, you plug it in and it's ready to go.  The chair is not real heavy and comes on wheels so it's easy to move but doesn't roll around while in use.  The chair reclines back all the way and hugs the wall.  The chair lifts fairly high and allows you to be almost standing so it's easy to get in and out of.  The size of the chair is small and seems to be designed for a smaller person - Someone under 200 lbs.   I am very pleased with the chair overall and the price for what it does was awesome.   I would highly recommend this lift chair.
