Just got mine today and I love it. ...it is very comfortable...there is no way anybody could put it together by themselves...my husband and our 42 year old son carried it in to our house and one person could not carry the bottom let alone line the back up to put it together...this is a great recliner and goes all the way back for sleeping and this is my bed because of my back...I got the manual recliner as I had that before and I had the extension for the wooden lever as this helps when the lever is hard to reach....I highly recommend this recliner..I love it..
