This chair is a total disaster. One year later, the footrest does not close properly. I have talked to the manufacturer and applied a silicon lubricant as instructed and it still doesn't close without great effort. Literally, the sitter needs to stand up and then use a foot to force it to stay shut. I hate this chair. I would not recommend. I am thinking of kicking it right to the curb. And the seat portion is also misshaped after only a year of use--sagging at the knees. Total flunk.
