human touch Perfect Chair inchPC-420 inch Premium Full Grain Leather Hand-Crafted Zero-Gravity Walnut Manual Recliner, Sycamore

I had one of the early models in 2001 when I first herniated my L5-S1 disk, and it lasted 15 years. The design has improved a lot since then. The clutch mechanism that holds the chair in position is much better now. Note this is a review of the basic PC-420 model, not the one with electric features*. This chair does a great job of relieving back pain, and you can also roll to either side with your knees to do stretches, shift position, whatever. Now that I have one again, I have a pain-free zone where I hang out and work on the laptop, read, etc. It's like home base. Yes, these are expensive. Yes, if you have chronic pain back pain or sciatica, they are worth every penny.*Note: it takes a bit of arm and core body strength to bring the chair upright from the fully reclined position. If you have any doubt about strength, just get the electric model.Update: After 2 months, it has become clear to me that the light walnut finish chips easily, so be careful not to bang into the chair with the vacuum, etc.Also, the chair shipped with some of the (rather complex) hardware not tightened down completely, so it creaks a bit after I set it into position. So far I have been too lazy to remove all the cushions to get at the bolts that need tightening. This really should have been done right at the factory.

Yeah, it's a lot of money. So my first piece of advice would be don't buy it until you've tried one. My sister has had this same chair for 20 years and I hog it every time I visit, so I knew what I would be getting. Valencia Seating (the seller I bought from) provided curbside delivery - if you need "white glove" be sure you've paid for it. It took my husband 30 minutes to assemble, screwdriver was provided, and assembly was very straightforward - mostly placing the pads. If you are going to assemble you need to be able to get on the floor, etc.TRY BEFORE YOU BUY - here's why. If you have long legs, your feet will hang off the end. I am 5'8" and my feet hang off right at the Achilles tendon, which I KNEW, because I'd tried it. I have to put a thick fleece blanket at the edge (easier than it sounds) to pad that area to get the PERFECT PERFECT fit. I have never sat in such a wonderful chair! The leather is gorgeous (I got the top grain leather in red, which is a matte, pebbly look). This is not a soft cushy chair, the padding is quite thin. And it isn't pretty from behind - the black canvas shows as does some of the metal. But it doesn't need to be soft if your back hurts. I am recovering from a ruptured disk and NOTHING is comfortable except this chair. Here's another thing you need to know - it isn't automated. You have to use your body weight to push it back, and again to bring it forward. It takes some work, in other words - not much, but some. If you need your feet elevated above your heart, this is great. Like a dentist's chair without the evil dentist sticking pointy tools into your mouth. My sister had had several surgeries on her feet and this is what she recovers in. So - it is a GREAT chair and was worth the high cost to me, but I knew exactly what I was getting, and you should too. If you buy directly from the manufacturer you will pay a lot more but you'll have an in-home trial period. Because I have used this exact chair many times, I felt very safe buying it via Amazon Marketplace.

This replaced an 18 year old Backsaver Zero Gravity chair that I loved, and I love this chair even more! It is sturdier and more substantially built than the Backsaver. It is also easier to sit in and get up from because of the slope of the leg support when the chair is in the full upright position. The one handed locking mechanism makes adjusting the recline extremely easy. The customer service from the vender was outstanding. They notified me two days after my order to tell me that the they were out of stock of the chair I ordered, and that it would be months before they would get more. So, they offered me an upgrade to the premium leather model in the same color at no cost. I readily accepted. Then, it was delivered for days prior to they promised delivery date! I moar definitely recommend this chair.

I’ve had this chair for a month now. It’s super sturdy and so good looking. The truck delivery guy put it right where I needed it and took it took me just under an hour to put together. By myself. I’m a 64 y/o female. I was a little concerned because I’m tall, 5’ 10” but it’s just fine. It is heavy but I can move it around a little. I’m very happy with this chair. I didn’t get the additional back piece, I thought I’d need it but Nope! I’m in it every evening and would recommend this over a standard recliner any day. Oh, and I have 2 cats and they don’t bother with it at all.

AFTER experiencing the cool comfort of REAL breathable genuine leather I could never go back to the 'faux' leathers that cause your back to get hot and sweaty, then start deteriorating and flaking within a few years! ~ My entire living room set is all of Italian leather which I bought over 30 years ago and STILL looks as good as new, retaining its superb comfort level. ~ One thing about REAL leather is that the older it gets the BETTER it looks with age!YES, this fine chair is expensive, BUT, in the long run it will pay for itself in luxurious comfort and years of durability! ~ I decided that at 74 WHY should I settle for less comfort?!I would give this chair 10 stars, if available, for the great craftsmanship and fine quality of materials used in its construction!This chair comes in TWO boxes, the heaviest being the wooden base and the second box containing the leather padding.FOLLOW instructions closely and you will have it assembled within an hour. A rubber mallet came in handy in installing the front leg frame.ONLY PROBLEM I encountered was with the trucking company that caused a major delay in delivery, but the problem was resolved by Amazon's great customer service!
