It works for my purposes, nice chair, 1 star less for the frustration of shipping
I work from home and have to keep my feet up most of the time. So I was looking for a chair that would have a footrest that would come up without having to recline the chair a great deal. This fit the bill, as there is separate footrest ring on the side of the seat that brings up the footrest, and the back rest barely goes back more than it is when the footrest is down. I also needed the chair to either have casters to roll or to swivel, so that I could sit in it and then bring out the keyboard drawer from the desk, and be able to sit close enough to the desk that I could see the large monitor screens. The office chairs with casters and footrests, didnt look like they would be study and comfortable for 12+ hrs a day of sitting and long term use by a heavy person.
This chair swivels, and although its a bit tight to get my feet out from btwn the desk and the footrest, once I had it up and then put it down again, I can make it work. To explain this, it takes more force to close it than I can do with my legs, so I always have to get out of it and then push the footrest down with my hand. The statement from others, that it does take some force to push the footrest down, is true, plus I have little space to work with, since the desk is right in front of me.
This chair was a little more than I would have rather spent and it has features like 8 vibrating massage node with heat that I will never use, Ive also never even reclined the back rest so far. The rocking is more annoying for my purposes but would normally be nice in a living room or nursey recliner. I did a lot of research, and spend some time debating what I absolutely needed and what I found available this recliner fit the bill better than any other I found. It is a nice recliner, it is comfortable, and it should last a long time. My husband had no problem with the weight of the boxes, getting the pieces in my office or assembing the back and arms to the seat base. The seat is roomy, the chair feels sturdy but is probably best for shorter people, Im only 5 foot.
My biggest disappointment was with the shipping. I ordered the chair on July 10th and was quoted it would arrive 7/14 to 7/16. Every day, when I checked the tracking on Fedex, the arrival date was moved back a day. My order also showed the arrival date moved to 7/19 and later 7/21. At COB Friday 7/16, I checked to find that it has only been picked up that day and had only traveled 14 miles down I/10 from Ontario to Bloomington, CA. Since the estimate arrival date had just been changed then to 7/21, and I no way to know if the arrival date would continue to be
moved forward each day the next week, as it had that week, I wrote the vendor. I received a sort of mangled worded email the next day that seemed to indicate I should give it another 3 days. So I did and the recliner was received before COB on Monday, 7/19. Solid and basic.
