Signature Design by AshleyMarkridge Faux Leather Modern Electric Power Lift Recliner for Elderly, Brown

I'm about 6ft 1 in., 250 lbs. knee to floor 19 in, 18 butt width. I'm 81 with limited mobility. Keep my size in mind when reading comments. The chair is too small for my size.It is very comfortable, though. The lift to standing is problematic for me, as the headrest hits my shoulders and pushes me too far forward before I'm standing. The lift is not quite high enough.Un-boxing. Be very careful cutting the box. It's best to just tear the box open. The steel bottom of the chair rests on the bottom of the box, that is it just on the box flaps, nothing extra.Remove the backrest and set aside.Find the package of parts zip tied to the cross member at bottom of the back. The cord to the lift motor will be tied to the cross member. Leave it for now.Remove the four furniture glides/levelers.Tilt the chair onto it's side, screw in the glides. Very easy, hand tighten only, no tools needed.When you finish with this, completely remove the remainder of the box and plastic wrap.Remove the wrap from the back assembly. The chair base and back should be free of packing.'Lift the backrest by the sides. It's not heavy. Slide the two steel tabs over the mating tabs on the chair bottom. Th backrest does not have to be aligned perfectly to start. The tabs have enough initial looseness so that one side can be started, then the other. Push down until you hear a loud click.Now remove the motor wire from the cross member and route it over the top of the cross member. Important as this keeps the cord from getting under the chair.Open the package of wiring. Lay the two button control aside.You will have two cords and a black box, which is the battery back up. If you have 2 9 volt batteries available, open the battery compartment lid on the side of the black box. Connect the motor cord to one end of the black box. The connections are different so they can't be assembled wrong..Now take the two button control and open the right side pocket. The round connector will be at the bottom. You will need a flashlight (torch). Look to see where the pins are on the cord and then on the socket (at bottom of pocket). Push aside the strain relief, black plastic tab. Carefully align the pins and push gently to seat. Don't force any thing, Then snap the strain relief over the two tabs on the connector. This keeps the two button control cord from being pulled loose.Assembly is now complete. Position the chair in it's using location. Check to see that your power supply cords are assembled correctly, then plug into an electrical outlet. 110 volt, American style plug.When you install the two 9 volt batteries, be sure the power cord is unplugged.Their will be two green lights. One on the back up box and one on a switch between the battery back-up and motor. Both should be on. If not, push the button on the switch to turn it on.Your chair is now ready for use.The battery back up can be fastened to the cross member with two screws or zip ties. Just wind the power cord loosely around the cross member. L3ave enough length free for the chair-motor operation.The two button control is perfect for elderly people, as sometimes in the presence of a lot of buttons, we forget which does what. It would be good for a child, too.The chair lift is very quiet and operates very smoothly.I highly recommend this chair. Just remember it's for smaller people, adult or child.

Purchased to replace Grampas old lift chair. He said this 1 has better lumbar support and is comfortable. He is around 5'4'' and it fits perfect. would not recommend for anyone taller. Only takes a few seconds to assemble and everything plugs or snaps together without any hardware.

Purchased the Ashley Signature Recliner Lift Chair form my Mother's bedroom. She is approaching 90 years of age and recently fell and fractured her pelvic bone. This chair is smaller than the standard Recliner Lift Chair, but a perfect fit for a small space and for a smaller person. Would be slightly too small for a person who is over 5' 8". The quality of the fabric was very good quality. The chair was very easy to assemble. Would definitely recommend this product for an elderly person and for use in a small area.

Other reviewers have noted the flimsy seat cushion and very short leg rests, so I just say I agree with this. The back is designed poorly and the angle of the seat causes sliding while one is sleeping. The positions controlled by the remote are not comfortable either, so, in all this is the biggest mistake I have made buying lift chairs. Save your money, look somewhere else.

Very well made and tailored fabric, nice neutral color, works well, good support if a bit hard on the seat, attractive. Best for a person perhaps 5ft 4" and below. Otherwise, no neck support and legs hang off almost mid thigh when upright.

When we took this chair out of the box it looked like it was for a child. Keeping that in mind it was purchased for a 4'11" female and it fit her perfectly! It reclines to a very comfortable sleeping position (per the person it was intended for). I also tried it out and at 5'2' it was perfect. If you have neck issues this will not push your head forward as many standard size recliners do for smaller people making it very uncomfortable. Both of us were able to place our feet on the floor in a sitting position, also difficult in standard recliners. The lift mechanism works just as well. We chose the "leather" version. The test will be how well does it wear. Expectedly the "leather" doesn't compare to another recliner I own that was 4 times as much money. All in all this was a good purchase for the person it was intended for. She is about to have open heart surgery and is to sleep in a recliner for 6 weeks post-op. She is very happy and finds it very comfortable enough to do just that.

Works well but very hard seat, not comfortable.

This chair was returned. It looks like it’s made for a child or a very short person. It was returned via Amazon/UPS. Packed up as it came. Just waiting for my refund. The chair is very nice but not at all what I expected.
