  1. With something like a reclining chair, it’s important to actually see/sit in it in person before buying. While shopping online is great, furniture is one of those purchases you’re going to be with for a long time. You want to make sure it’s comfortable!

  2. I need one of these recliner chairs for the elderly to help me stand up from a seated position. I don’t have the strength in my arms and with arthritis in the knees, any extra pressure is very painful. These points are very helpful towards my decision. Thank you.
