Bought this BECAUSE it was supposed to recline to 160 degrees.
It will get there -  if you wrestle it there - but it will NOT stay there, and immediately starts crawling back to the first recline position which doesn't elevate the feet.
What a disappointment.  
And having to had to cut open the shipping box to get the pieces out, 
it's now too much hassle to return - I guess I'm out $300.   :-(
