Bought this chair for two reasons.  First, the power lift feature makes getting in and out of it very easy.  Second, the filled in footrest rather than separated cushion is much better for distributing weight of legs.  I shopped for about six weeks, and during that time, Wayfair changed the price three times.  I got them on the low end.    A couple of things I don't like:  First, pitch of the back can only be adjusted when the footrest is deployed, so you can't adjust as a sitting chair.Second, as part of a feature, the seat moves forward when the reclining mechanism is activated.  This can leave your back slightly bent.  Normal sitting and reclining positions are comfortable.  Power mechanism is quiet and seems fairly sturdy.  Faux leather is fine, and seems durable also.  All in all, a good value assuming it holds up for the long haul.
