This recliner is exactly what I wanted, and it has excellent features for me.  I am dealing with sciatica, and I wanted a very stable chair that did not rock, glide or swivel.  I also wanted a manual recliner.  I also wanted an electric massage and heat feature.  This is an unusual combination of features, and this chair provided them for me.  Everything about it works as advertised.  It was very easy to assemble, and I am really happy with it.
