OK. I had some major back surgery and needed a recliner. I wasn’t looking for a family heirloom, just something that could recline and cheap. I GOT IT IN THIS!!!! I didn’t care about the ‘Massager” on the chair…its useless. I needed to raise my legs. This works for that simple necessity. BUT…the arm rests are cheap cardboard under a little fabric and foam. The part you rest your legs on is a single piece of cheap plywood that bends every time you raise your legs. I need this thing at most 9 months. After that I sure it will only be ready to be dragged to the street for the trash collector.
