This is a very nice chair for the price. It has good cushioning, especially on the back and seat and is very comfortable. The foot rest is one continuous peice which is connected to the chair.  I like this because my dog likes to sit between my legs when I am sitting in my chair. I do wish the foot rest was a bit longer. The motor is very quiet, you barely hear it, and your legs get a smooth, gentle lift. The color is also a good match to other faux leather furniture I have in the room. I would buy this again.
