Ordered this for my spouse who has been diagnosed with heart failure and cannot sleep flat at this time. The mechanism works well but the footrest has a tendency to slowly drop unless the head is as flat as it can be. The product was easy to assemble and is sturdy enough for our intended use. I dont, however, think that it would survive a house with children. I agree with another reviewer that it would be nice if the backrest was higher but then the item wouldnt pack the same for shipping. Be aware that it is a heavy carton and was difficult for 2 old folks to wrestle, but we managed.
Good value for the price
