The chair is exactly as described and is fairly easy to assemble (the directions aren't the greatest).  Once up and running, it is straightforward with an easy to use remote.  The heat function really does get hot after a while!  
Some details - I'm 5'9" and it accommodates me perfectly without issue.  The clearance (from chair back to wall) is minimal.  It's been used for a couple days (3-4 sessions by the family) and there are no issues at all.
After looking at models that were 3-5 times more expensive, I'm happy to have chosen this one!
