I love the manual recliners, I ordered two. However, in order to close the recliner, to get up was very difficult! Very hard to close it up with your legs! I've had to get myself out, then turn the chair to lay on its back and and push the extended foot rest hard enough to close it. I don't know if it just needs to be worked some or what, but for an older person it a pain! Otherwise, it's very comfortable to sit in. Love the color too!
