Bought one for mom in nursing home. Liked it so much, we bought two for our use at home. They've held up GREAT, look like new. So much easier than trying to "kick" the foot rest on our other recliners to recline and return to upright position! Don't need the lift option yet - but when/if we do, it's already available to us in these chairs. WOULD NOT hesitate to highly recommend these chairs!
