After years of my arthritic knees complaining when I rose from a chair, I bit the bullet and ordered this recliner.  It required about an hour to set up which involved inserting the back into the base, inserting two side pieces to the back, connecting the power cord, and connecting the control to a plug in the pocket of the chair.  Hint:  in order to see the connector that's tucked into the chair pocket, feed extra wire into the pocket from be!ow the chair so that you can pull the plug out of the pocket.
I love the chair.  It arrived just before several days of rain and really helped my knees.  It's also beautiful.  Why didn't I do this sooner?
