I bought this for myself since I've been having some mobility issues and I wanted a comfortable place to just read and relax. I'm very happy with this recliner. It is comfortable, the motor is very silent and it reclines to 180 degrees so it is ideal for quick power naps. Also, it is quite affordable. The only problem I have with it is that my husband likes it so much that he is always using it. I think I need to get him one too!
