It is a really nice looking and comfortable chair except for the fact that I am 5' 6" and my feet hang off of the end, and the foot part doesn't come up high enough.  It was kind of hard putting it together.  The plug in for the remote is on a very short wire in the very tight side pocket.  The wings on the sides  If you are younger I am sure it would be easier, but for handicapped seniors it was rough.  I would have sent it back but the chair is nice and it does have separate control for the back and foot part.  I love the back because it keeps me sitting up straighter than most recliners and the lift part is exceptional.  I have serious back problems and this is a tremendous help.  It also sits higher than most recliners and has adjustable feet which are great too..The cover material is also very nice.  The pros outweighed the cons so I decided to keep it and not exchange it..  I feel it is a very good value.
