Bought this to replace an old recliner and it is excellent. Came in 2 boxes and was easy to put together. I did it on my own and didn't encounter any problems. The instructions are printed quite small but shouldn't pose any problems for the average person. I bought the full electric version and the electric recline is very smooth and quiet. Compared to my old recliner, his one is very well padded and far more comfortable. It is built to a good quality and extremely well priced. I'm very satisfied with it & may well buy another in the future.
