- Bands: Exceptional 8.5 and up, Excellent 7.5, Very good 6.5, Good 5.5, Fair 4, Poor below 4. Every score is dated.
- Price, the warranty and what a link pays us stay out of it.

7 written critical reviews, all read; 5 are the footrest or recline mechanism · critical reviews read 2026-10-16
“The footrest comes up to support legs but it does not fully recline. The footrest pops up roughly by a hand button on the side of the recliner. The footrest is hard to put back down. I have to get out of the chair and put the footrest down by hand as my legs are not strong enough to close it.”— Linda Schmidke, Amazon · Verified owner
