This has been perfect.  My father (79) just had hip replacement surgery and has come to stay with us while he heals.  We have very low and deep furniture or very hard dining rooms chairs.   We panicked when we realized he would need to stay with us.  I had priced other recliner/lift chairs locally and they were upwards (or over) $1,000.  This was affordable and arrived in 3 days -thankfully the day we brought him home from the hospital.  It was super easy to snap together and isn't too big - we were able to place it in our family room and it takes up minimal space.  We will also let him have it to home with.  It's been perfect.  He can sit in many positions and be comfortable and it help him up to his walker without straining his him or upper body too much.
