I am a younger female but purchased the oversize power lift assist recliner because it was a great price.  When I received my chair, which was delivered earlier than expected, I loved it.  I love the ease in operation.  This chair is awesome, it reclines with ease, it massages with ease and when you're feeling tired or lazy it will assist with helping you get out of the chair.  I don't think I could of made a better purchase.  I got the dark brown.
