Heavenly to sit in, but the recliner handle broke maybe six months after we bought it. It is a plain handle attached to a heavy cable in the side of the chair next to the seat cushion. You pull the handle and the cable pulls, releasing the footrest. It was under warranty, so we were able to get it fixed, but now it is broken again. And of course, the warrranty has run out. Who knows how much it is going to cost to fix it? I don't know, but I am going to find out and it really doesnt matter how much, it is still going to upset me. The chair is only a little over two years old. I am apparently not the only person who has had the handle break either. Others reviewing Catnapper recliners have had the same complaint.Getting the footrest back down when you are done reclining requires some real strength. I am young and healthy, so it is no big deal for me to force the footrest down when I am ready to get up, but this would be a terrible buy for an elderly person or anyone with little strength.
Other than the quality issues, the chair looks great and is very comfortable.
