It was pretty easy to put together and Mom is really liking it. The lift function makes it so easy for her to get up. The reclining is great too since she normally can't operate the manual ones well. So the power recline is really great for her. She  doesn't care much for the massage however, and the heat function has not worked at all from the start. Also I would note that I don't consider this chair to be in any way "oversized". I still gave it 5 stars because it's just what she needed and she loves it.
