Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a good looking chair! I purchased this for my husband who has recently developed serious mobility issues and needed something comfortable and easy to get out of as our stationary furniture just wasn’t working for him. Not only is it attractive and amazingly comfortable, it’s extremely functional. Super quiet and smooth when using the power controls – you can’t even hear it. It reclines fully and also lifts much higher than shown in the photo’s provided on the sales page. It’s very heavy and seems to be well constructed with a lot of metal reinforcement. The fabric is really nice too…sure looks like leather but actually feels better as it’s much softer and not sticky like vinyl. The color is good and fairly true to the photos shown. If you do an internet search for this chair you will find it sold at several places and some are less expensive and some are way more. However, the shipping seems to be a lot longer such as 3-5 weeks. I received this chair from Amazon in 6 days with a weather delay from Hurricane Irma. Pretty good for such a large item and the freight delivery fellow was excellent. I did my homework when buying and it’s also sold under the brand “Darby Home Forreston Power lift recliner” at Wayfair for considerably more. Of course, seeing the shipping weight was 139lbs I was a little concerned about how I was going to get this bugger assembled on my own as I’m no spring chicken! Not a problem at all when you unpack the back and wings and carefully cut the box down the sides and slide out the base. It was well packed and the directions were clear and concise and it probably only took about ½ an hour and I went slow. Plugged it in and TAH-DAH…It worked fantastic! I’ve purchased other small items from Ashley furniture and have been quite satisfied and that’s one of the reasons I went with this chair. So far, we’re very pleased. Hope these photo’s help as they don’t seem to show it reclined or in the full lift position.
