As other reviewers have mentioned, this chair is incredibly quiet.   You hear almost nothing as you use the controls.   Seems to be well stuffed and comfortable.   As for the footrest:  while it will raise up to a great height, at 5’7” my feet are dangling at the point of my ankles off the edge of the footrest.    This isn’t a problem for me, but it may be for some, so I mention it.
