If I could give this a zero rating I would. This is the worst chair that I have ever owned and I'm 76 years old. I am disabled and weigh 125 lbs and I cannot recline this chair with my body weight. Also, once I stand up and push on the back to make it recline and activate the footrest, I have to keep my weight on the back; I cannot relax, otherwise, the back returns to an upright position. I have arthritis in my hips and back and have nothing but pain if I try to sit in this for too long. I never try to recline it because of my back. The chair remained in the box for a long time before I could get someone to assemble it and so the 30 day return period had expired. I am so unhappy with this, I could cry!
