Very sturdy and comfortable for my 230 lb. self. Real leather is a testament onto itself. Massage and heat work great. Just don't expect a full body deep tissue massage. Just a relaxing rolling and vibration. Chair lays out completely flat from head to toe. The chair lift function truly puts you in an upright/standing position. Perfect for elderly and/or disabled individuals who have trouble sitting/standing. Side buttons (R/ Arm) control chair movement. Connected remote controls the massage and heat functions with many power and adjustment settings. Obviously being powered, chair will need to be plugged into a wall outlet, so would need to be near a wall and outlet. Otherwise, likely to need a floor wire strip protector to protect from trip/damage and aesthetics. I'm very happy with the chair and reasonable price point. Now I will just need to use it to determine it's durability.
