My son loves his chair. It was easy to put together. While putting the chair together we were looking for the larger scores and thought they were missing, but they were already placed in the chair. The chair reclines flat, but if you want to take advantage of that feature you have to have a footrest or ottoman because it is not comfortable to recline and have your feet on the floor. The lever that operates the reclining feature is not very safe in my opinion. It is easy to get a finger trapped if not careful. The surprise is that the chair comes with a lumbar support with a massager.
