Well, first off this chair is not for a 74 year old woman with back problems.  Oh the chair is quite comfortable but to be able to recline in it you have to have quite a lot of strength and the description was too vague in the operation of the recline part.  I am not happy with my purchase and find that in order to get the pieces out of the boxes the boxes got destroyed and probably unable to return to an exchange.  Would like your feedback on any assistance you can give me.  Thanks
