This is a great recliner for meeting my needs. The controls for the chair are on the arm instead of a manual device attached with a cord that can get twisted or hang down to the floor.The back and neck are easily adjustable to a position of watching TV or sitting up while icing my swollen ankles resting on the ottoman. The cup holders on each side are a nice feature, especially since they can be illuminated. And I like the storage compartments under the arm rests.
