Signature Design by Ashley Yandel Faux Leather Electric Power Lift Recliner for Elderly, Brown

I bought this for my 6'2", 195#, 78 year old husband for Christmas because he had trouble getting in and out of chairs due to double knee replacements. He was scheduled for surgery in January, which could further impede his ability get out of the chair he spend all of his waking hours in, so after looking at many recliners and reading a lot of customer reviews, I felt this chair would be a good solution. Well, based on my husband's report, it turned out to be perfect. First, in resting position it sets a little higher than the regular recliner he used to have, which in his case the higher profile is comfortable to start with. The lift feature is very helpful for him, especially on the days he is feeling more tired than ususal. While in the full recline position the end of the leg lift falls to about 4" above his ankle. I was very concerned about this when I researched the dimensions of all the chairs I looked at. The seat is wider than the regular recliner. My husband is not slender but not heavy in stature (195#), but I am certain that if he were heavier it would certainly still be comfortable. He reports it is quite comfortable. When the motor for lift and recline is activated, it is very quiet. The leather is very attractive and seems to be very sturdy. It was shipped in a sturdy box and relatively easy to assemble. It was delivered to our garage. Delivery did not include set up, but I knew that up front because that information was included in the advertising, so it was up to us to move it to the intended room which was a slight challenge only because he is 78, and I am 63, but we figured it out and took our time. As advertised it fit through a regular door opening. The chair is delivered in two main sections, the lower seat and the back. The lower section is heavier than a regular recliner because of the motor. My guess is about 10-12 lbs. heavier. The arm cushions and the vertical side back cushions need to be installed but were quite easy because they are mounted on slide brackets and just slide together fairly easy. The two main sections slide together pretty easy as well. Then the hand control gets plugged in to the motor, and the motor is plugged into the wall and it's ready to go. I have hopefully provided enough information for those that are shopping for this type of chair. My husband (the main user of the chair) and I are very satisfied with the purchase of this chair and would recommend it.

I bought this chair for my wife who has MS. She loves it. The ease of assembly, dual motors, infinite positions, color, fabric, functionality, reliability, comfort, battery back up, and quiet operation were great features. But, I thought we had bought a dud after a month or two of use. I received a call at work. She was stuck in the chair and the motors would not work at all. The chair and motors turned out to be fine. Our small dog had been messing around behind the chair and had accidentally disconnected the wire between the chair and the power supply, which held the backup batteries. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: There are important things to understand about how the motors get power. The power to the motors from the wall is not just one wire. It has three connection points - the grounded, three-pronged wall plug, the connection between the gounded cord and the power supply, and a pigtail between the power supply and a wire that is attached to the motors. 1. There is a detachable grounded cord that must be plugged into both the wall and the power supply. If it is unplugged at the wall or at the transformer, the battery back up will normally still work; BUT 2. You put the backup batteries (two nine-volt transistor radio batteries) in the power supply itself. 3. The transformer has a permanently affixed pigtail wire with an easily unplugged connector that connects to a wire that connects to the motors attached to the chair If this connection is unplugged, it will prevent any power, even from the back up batteries installed in the power supply, from reaching the motors. If this plug were to be disconnected, the chair will remain in the position that it was in when it was unplugged and will not budge. 4. FINALLY, even if all three connections are firmly plugged in and the batteries are brand new and correctly installed, the chair may still not work, because the wire from the third connection between the transformer and the motors has a very small, easily-overlooked switch, that if turned off, cuts off all power to the motors, even from the batteries. The dog seems to have stepped on the switch, too. There is also a plug in the side pouch where the remote attaches that could also stop the chair from working if not plugged in. I'm sure there's some safety reason that there are so many ways to disconnect the power. I admit that I was very frustrated at first trying to figure out why the chair no longer worked, especially since it was supposed to work on batteries. My wife pulled out the instructions we had stored in the side pocket, read them to me, and all was well. :-) IT'S A GREAT CHAIR! You may want to consider protecting the connection between the power supply and the motors and putting something around the switch to keep it from being turned off accidentally. Hopefully, in doing so, you will not create a safety issue.

The chair arrived quickly and my wife assembled it on her own, while I was in the hospital. After a heart surgery it was very painful to lie down flat on our regular bed, so this chair became my bed for two months after the hospital. The remote made it super easy and pain-less to stand up and sit and recline. I am covering the chair with a fitted cotton sheet to sleep on it, but one day we'll start using it as an actual chair, and then it will be nice to sit on the chair without the cover. The faux leather feels very soft. The only drawback is the length of the foot pedestal - it's a bit short for me, the feet are hanging. I am 6' tall. But I placed a small stool to put the feet on, and it's quite bearable. My wife said, she couldn't find a longer reclining chair anywhere, anyway. At first I was sleeping on the chair half-reclined, but as the time goes by, I reclined it all the way back, which is almost 170 degrees, almost flat. The full-recline option is great because it trains my chest making it ready to finally return to the normal flat bed.

This chair is very comfortable but a bit dear. Just a bit. I really like it. Maybe I should have ordered the black one. Black goes with everything... or so I've since been told. Repeatedly.

Easy to get out of with the lift option
