This recliner is a good value but not high-end. It's smaller than a standard recliner, so if you're tall, your feet will likely hang of the end in the reclining position. The heating element worked well, but the "massage" feature was pretty much a joke. The chair back vibrates a bit but doesn't really massage. Other pros: nice color/decent fabric, easy assemble (no tools required, although instructions weren't great), doesn't need to be placed far away from the wall to recline, easy to lift the foot rest, and the pocket on the side is handy. Other cons: lowering and locking the foot rest may be challenging for some (really have to push with your feet/legs) and the seat already looks & feels a little concave (so the cushion may not hold up well over time). Although this recliner isn't exceptional, it's still decent for the price.
