Very disappointed! The reclining mechanism is noisy. It sounds like a car on a roller coaster clicking up the track. Very metal on metal sound. When you manually return to the upright position it makes a loud thump. I've seen other peoples recliners make this noise, I thought it was due to quality. Come to find out, it is common with Lazy Boy products. This recliner was not inexpensive.  I will never buy a Lazy Boy product  again.
