I bought this chair because I needed to keep my leg elevated after I had surgery to repair my broken ankle. The chair is comfortable. I liked the plain design. I have never bought a recliner because I didn't like the bulkiness of most recliners. This recliner isn't bulky. and it doesn't overwhelm the other furniture in my den. This recliner sleeps great. I have difficulty pushing the back for  the chair to recline but that probably has to do with my muscle weakness. My sons are more than willing to push the back the recliner for me. The price was also great. I didn't want to spend 3-4 hundred dollars for a recliner. This is my first purchase from Wayfair and I am pleased with the service and the promptness of the delivery.
