I love this chair!  I have multiple sclerosis and fin it very difficult to get up from a sitting position and this chair makes it so much easier for me.  I also love sleeping in it.  I have been basically sleeping sitting on my sofa since being unable to get into bed but this chair has allowed me not only to sleep in a reclined position but to sleep well with my legs up.   And as the icing on the cake, it looks great and it is very comfortable and I'm over 200 lbs.  I highly recommend this chair.
