Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After scouring the internet for recliners I kept coming back to this model. I don't perform impulse purchases without researching and reading the comments. So what I can offer from my experience is the following: A) Other people say this is difficult to assemble. Only took me 10 minutes tops. Very simple. Tools might be basic but that is why you have tools available at home that will make the process easier. B) Directions are difficult to read. It can be but this is not rocket science at all. There are literally two bolts and nut for the base of the chair. It can be a little tricky to align but not a deal breaker. The ottomon for the chair is simple - four bolts and insert the metal stem into the base. Very simple.. Now, I do understand if people who might be disabled or physically challenged might have difficulty. But for the average person shouldn't take long to assemble. Ten minute top C) For connecting the wires and vibrating. PEOPLE - read and listen up! This is not a deep tissue message unit. The information on the product states this. If you want one of those big fancy chairs that does this - spend more money and reserve your negative comments. For the most part, it vibrates and is lite but it is a nice option to have. One of the reasons why I went this route vs. the non-standard recliner. D) Comfort Cushy Chair - The chairs I have had in the past were your basic desk chair upright and cheap fabric. I wanted to spend a few more dollars on this for comfort. At first, I didn't really care for the chair but not I find it totally relaxing. Actually fell to sleep in the chair last night after a long week at work. Didn't expect this and had a nice snooze.. E) I love the swivel - smooth and quiet F) Only thing I would like to see in this model chair is height adjustment. My computer desk that I manufactured out of hard pipe desktop is a little higher than the chair. So I do have a couple of options is lower the desk to match height of the chair or look for a add on for the chair base to raise it higher. Not a real dealer breaker honestly because I still have options. G) The Smell - the first couple of days the smell was intense and found my eyes watering at times. After three days it was less noticeable and not has potent. From what I read others have used vinegar or fabreeze on the chair to lessen the smell. I really don't think you will need to go that far. Place the chair outside or in the garage when you leave for work. Let it sit to breath and bring back in. I didn't do this and left in my computer room. Again, after three days you hardly notice it. Would I buy this chair again? Probably - for the price, comfort, and style I am happy with my investment.
