can you adjust the footrest. It is so incredibly hard to put it down. I try with my legs and the recliner arm and neither is easy. any suggestions

Well I hate to bad mouth anything but we bought 2 both are hard to put down and, once they are down you have to kick them to make them stay in. They are both starting to break down as well. They look nice and are comfortable but, we are disappointed in our purchase.

The seat does not recline but maybe you can getan extended foot rest fabricated somewhere?

I checked with my mother, who uses the chair. She said that on each side of the wheel there is a separate lever. Push the levers down towards the wheels. This puts the brakes on. Pull back on the levers to take the brakes off. She never tried to adjust the foot rests.

Hi, I have this chair and it really is awesome. Unfortunately it the seat does not tilt forward. : ( Other than that super comfy. I am 5' 4" and some arm rests do not come up high enough for me, these do. And they are adjustable. Hope this helps you choose a chair. Betty

The back reclines but the adjustment must be made by someone standing behind the chair. It cannot be done by the person sitting in the chair. I should add that it is very easy for the person standing behind the chair to make the adjustment.

There is a handle underneath the seat that raises and lowers seat. Try sitting on it when adjusting

Actually I had to get the hang of it!! I have found if you put the foot of the chair down on the ground then you can just sit in. then get out the same way. it is so comfortable it's worth the 'awkwardness'!! I love the chair.

This not the chair for him. I would have him use a plain chair, and purchase an adjustable foot rest. Hope this helps.

No the foot rest is not adjustable. This is a great light weight wheel chair. If you purchase, you may want to consider a foam pad to sit on.

You cannot adjust the recline of the seat back. The seat, as a unit, slides forward and backward only. Note that the rail it sits on has a slight incline front to back so sliding it back also raises it up slightly.

I'm sorry to say but I have the same problem with mine when I go to recline back down . No , I have not found a way to fix that either . Sorry that I couldn't help more .

Debbie I really haven't tried using it in the recliner, foot rest up or down. I do use it sitting up in bed and that is similar to the recliner with the foot rest up. I don't use it all the time but when I do use the table it serves it purpose well.

Hello:The foot rest only has an up or down position but the back can recline back in graduating positions. It is a very comfortable chair, but very big as well. The upholstery on mine did not hold up and neither did the back. I just purchased a new recliner but decided to take this one apart and found that three of the four bolts holding the back on had fallen out. Not very good construction. I was able to repair it, but the upholstery still has tons of cracks in it and it is only a year and half old. So if this is for daily use I would think twice before ordering it.

It IS awkward to get in and out of the chair, but very comfortable after you are in it. I found the best way to sit down is to put a foot on either side and then sit backwards; when getting out, get both feet planted on either side and then raise up. Not bad once you get the hang of it.

It is not easily adjustable. You cannot go back and forth between standing and sitting with ease.

David, here is where we are coming from. My husband likes the sofa, BUT, he said to let you know that he does not try to recline it after the first day, because he is not sure it will return to position, for like you mention, the recliner has an issue. Ours also had a tear in the back , but we got that repaired. HOWEVER, he likes the sofa very much. I was going to return, but he said, he prefers that we keep it. HERE is a positive. There way the lower part of each top cushion curves out makes it easier on our backs.In fact, if you sit and put up your feet, it is almost like reclining because of the shaping of the back cushions. And, the price is certainly right. Have had ours a few months. Hope this is helpful. Will be interested in what you determine, one way or the other.

There is a tab on the right side of the chair.....when you pull it the leg rest comes up. You manually push the leg rest back down using your legs. Also, the chair is a bit on the small side! I would check the dimensions before ordering!
