Bought this thinking it would be a lift recliner because that was what I had searched for on the Wayfair site. It is NOT!! Be more careful than I was so you don't have to pay for return shipping!
The chair was somewhat difficult to assemble for me, and I had to get help from a younger person with better hand strength. I ended buying a more expensive chair with better padding than this one. For the money though, IF you don't need a lift chair, it will do the job.
