Awesome chair,  lifts just like we needed it to for a total knee replacement patient. Fabric is very soft and a beautiful grayish/blue. The recliner function is smooth and perfect for a patient recovering from surgery. The massage function is great, the heat function is not too hot, just a nice warmth. We are in late 60's and we able to assemble within an hour.  Would highly recommend this chair for anyone looking to have assistance in getting up and down from a seated   position. Delivery was fast, ordered on a Sunday and delivered on the following Wednesday. Very pleased with thus purchase.
