This really worked out perfectly for us. Despite being shipped during the Xmas rush, it arrived in a just a few days and was extremely easy to put together. Pay attention to all the other reviews that talk about the size of this chair ... my wife is 5' tall, and it fits her perfectly, whereas I'm 6' 4", and every part of me hangs over the edges. Definitely a chair for a smaller person. My wife will be having surgery soon, and we needed a power recliner for her long recovery period where she'll have almost no core strength for getting in and out of chairs. This will work perfectly.
