I had serious reservations with this, and I never thought this chair would even remotely meet my expectations, but it actually met and exceeded them! This chair is actually way better than all the zero gravity chairs I've tried over the years, this one actually allowed me to totally recline, which is amazing! My husband can't use it because it's max capacity is only 200lbs and he's 220, but for a gal like me, I'm loving it!
