TERRIFIC recliner !!! Put it together myself (I am a 67 year old lady, who is 5 FT 2 IN tall). Took 45 minutes to assemble. BE ADVISED -- DO NOT use Handy to assemble for you. They cancelled appointments on me twice so I decided to assemble myself. If you can't assemble yourself, get a friend or trusted handyman but DON'T use Handy.  This ia a great recliner -- VERY comfy and well made --  HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!
