Im a Big Guy (6ft, 280#) and this chair is soooooo comfy.  Well padded, including the foot rest (some brands barely have any padding). Price was very reasonable, on the lower end of the spectrum but seems of good quality. Only time will tell ... only been in use a couple of days. The Back is plenty tall.Footrest is a little short (feet hang off the edge, but legs are fully supported and well padded. Cup holders always seem like a good idea but aren't practical in a lift recliner (things spill/fall out). Would prefer the option of a Full length arm rest. lift motor is smooth and nearly silent. Haven't used the heat yet.
