Cheap material, unstable and has assembly issues
I guess you can't expect much from a $350 odd recliner however this seems to be worse than what I thought. I recently had rotator cuff surgery and needed an el cheapo recliner. Saw this on Amazon and thought how bad could it be since I needed it for only a few months. Here are my observations.<br />1. The material is cheap but I can't comment on how much it will hold up because I have not used it enough. Too soon to tell.<br />2. Assembly was mostly a breeze but the right arm is not properly aligned. Tried our level best but were unable to screw in the bolt as the alignment of the hole is faulty. See photo. The left arm worked just fine.<br />3. The chair itself is unstable. Being in a sling, it was hard for me to get up and one time the chair completely lost it's balance while I was trying to get up. I weigh about 178 lbs and the chair just tilts and becomes unstable. I thought it was just me because of my gait with the shoulder sling but my wife tried it out and she had the same issue.<br />4. The massager is just so so. Something you will find at a cheap massage chair in a mall or something akin to that.<br /><br />The chair does look decent but overall my recommendation is to skip it. YMMV.
