This was a great chair for the 1st year and 8 months, then the motor went out. I bought the warranty and thought they were going to replace the motor but after 2 weeks, I got a email the were refunding me entire purchase price. It was easy working with Wayfair.com and warranty people. I bought a much less expensive chair to replace this one and regret it. But I kept this chair. It doesn't lift but it is still  good livingroom chair.
