This is quite a comfortable chair, however I am somewhat disappointed about one fact. I was told both verbally and in writing that the foot rest and the back of this chair would work independently of each other because that was what I needed.  However, it turns out that this is not true,  when you put the foot rest up the back goes back. 
At the same time. I needed to put the foot rest up and then push the back to the angle I wanted it without the foot rest coming up more at the same time.
