Bought this chair to replace a Mac Motion that was about 15 years old. I was surprised at how easy it was to assemble. All of the hardware needed, including allen wrenches, was nicely laid out in molded clear plastic cases, making identification of pieces shown in the 9/step instructions easy. The next to last step is installation of the arm rests and for some reason I reversed them left/for/right and had a heck of a time getting the bolts to line up and noticed the seat seemed narrow. Then when looking at the picture on in preparation for writing my review, I realized the error and was able to reverse them to their proper position quickly. Aming how much easier things go when you get the assembly right! Seat is much wider now and matches my old Mac Motion. Ive had some back issues in the past and this chair gives good low back support and is very comfortable. Everything about it suggests high quality and from the attention to detain // including use of blue locking compound on some important bolts // Im hopeful it will last a long time. It reclines back further than my Mac Motion ever did and I really like the piston/assisted storage under the ottoman cover too. I put small furniture sliders under the six ottoman legs to make it easier to move the ottoman on our carpeted floor. It is redder than it appears in the photo which, for us, is a good thing; just the color we were hoping it would be. Finally, I cant believe how quickly it was delivered; in only about 4 days via FedEx ground. If I could give it six stars, I would. If anything changes, Ill be sure and update this review. Should buy.
Great recliner and easy assembly
