So far so good, Well over a month that I have had this and it's very comfortable on my back, the massage is more of a vibrate then an actual massage but it works and feels good, the heat, on the other hand, is absolutely great and I use it all the time for my back.  the char does lean back and also reclines, this is one thing I was trying to find out before I bought it and really did not see in any other reviews or questions.
