Excelle
Assembly very easy took less then 20 min
Excellent chair with heat massage
Comfortable to sta
Had to get 1st chair replaced because the seat started to sag .only had this one since December, not too impressed, seems to be going the same as the 1st chair.
Big improvement on my previous, similar priced recliner without the massage/ heat functio
For a cheapie this is an acceptably comfortable recliner. I use the word acceptably because during assembly it is clear the specification, fixings and material are only just strong enough to hold the chair and one person together. The distant look is not bad and close inspection does not fool anyone into thinking the recliner is sumptuous and expensive.
I consider the material plasticky but it matches perfectly the suite of office furniture I have made around me that began with painting the units black because of my piano keyboard. I also discovered lamentably late in life that if you spend a long time in front of your computer and other interests the best way to perpetuate neckache, backache and circulation problems is to do it on an office chair bolt upright in front of what you are working on, at standard office desk height. If you want to be comfortable, put your computer monitor at coffee table height to the side of the desk, make a pull-out drawer for keyboard and mouse from your desk to left or right (or both in my case) that pulls out almost the width of the recliner (so I can rest my elbows on the arms while typing) and make space under one of the desks for the footstool so that you can relax even more, or even snooze comfortably. What I bothered to do before assembly was put a piece of 40 mm memory foam in the seat base between the webbing. This made a big difference to comfort and was something I learned from my previous recliners. I will soon do the same with a similar insertion behind the small of my back.
The massaging is of the gentle vibration type and welcome first thing in the morning if you get up a bit stiff, like me, because of my age. The set of vibration options is generous and includes manual selection of the parts you feel need attending to. The two heat pads are perfectly positioned as well and welcome on these cold morning in my music room/study. My only negative observation (apart from plastic, staples and cheap foam) is that the automatic shut-off period of massage and heat should be two or three times longer.
On the whole I am very pleased with this recliner. I am about to experiment with fitting castors to the underside of the feet so I can move about a little, as well as swivel and know this will likely carry trauma. I might, after this, move my espresso coffee machine on to the desk top. You get the idea I am at home in the chair!
Great product.
Easy to assemble on your own, the only fiddly part was fitting the 2 location bolts for the seat and back, the instructions show the chair upright to perform this task. Turn the chair on its side and it is then simple. It is very comfortable, well made and looks great – excellent value for the money, much better that the one I was using which cost 3 times the price of this one.
very comfy
he only issue I have with this chair, is that while you have It on heat and massage, you want to fall asleep, whilst that is good. its not very good while working pmsl luckily I work from home…..
Great value for money
Easy to put together,works well, very good value for money
good quality
firstly i have to say this my second chair i have owned the last one was a different style , but i have to say this is a good chair , easy to assemble but check before starting that you have all the bolts , i had one missing but i have spares , arrived in one box and took about 49 mins to complete , can seems a bit hard to sit on at first but this soften over time , have not used massage yet but overall a good chair for the price .
Great Chai
This is a well made, comfortable and great value for money. It’s great to have the message on the chair. I love it, but the only thing missing is the footstool does not have message on it. But apart from that I would still buy it after having it for a month.
Looks good
For this price bracket ,not much use so far, seems really good.
Really happy with this chair!
This is a great chair, really easy to assemble, worked straight out of the box and really looks the part. Not too big, perfect size, footstool is a nice added bonus. Vibrating settings work great and it’s feels like the ones you go on at the airport when it is vibrating. Fits perfectly in a smaller room. Happy with this chai
amazing
It is as easy as it gets to assemble.
very comfortable and love the massaging feature.
it takes just the right amount of space and look amazing
Very comfortable
Fairly straightforward assembly — the two parts of the chair attach easily, so assembly is really just screws for the bases — and one has a fairly comfortable reclining chair.
It’s a very comfortable chair, nice recline on it, with a footstool that you can site as you prefer.
Material is more plastic than faux leather, but it’s comfortable enough, and looks good regardless.
Love this, so do the grandkids
Bought this for an extra chair for either my she-shed log cabin/library in the summer or in the winter, sitting at the french doors reading my book. I’m very picky when it comes to chairs due to my rheum arthritis so was a bit apprehensive buying it un-tested but I needn’t have worried. The only thing is when the grandkids come around I’ve lost it as they like it too.
Relaxing
I love my massage chair. Not too difficult to put together. Its not like a really strong massage but more of a very relaxing vibration. Many different modes . comfortable and looks good.
I would definitely recommend
I would definitely recommend this product it’s very comfortable and looks fantastic. I a big man and I have no problem with this chair what do ever.
Does what it promises to
It doesn’t feel that comfortable at first sitting but after a couple of minutes you don’t want to get out of it. The heat is really nice but as mentioned elsewhere the massage is more of a vibration than a massage. The kids love the vibration though. I am well satisfied with it and good value for money. Would recommend.
Very comfortable, reasonably priced.
The description is true, its easy to assemble, very comfy and looks good. The massage and back heat is great, very relaxing after a day of gardening. I fell asleep so comfortable.
I am using this as a replacement office chair, rather than something to simply lounge around in whilst watching the television. I am very impressed at the quality of the faux leather used and the ease of assembly for this set. The chair feels as if it were made just for me, as my feet actually touch the floor and the back of my knees align with the edge of the seat perfectly! The heat with vibration setting is also great for my lower back. Would recommend to a friend or colleague. 5/5.
First of all, this is a faux-leather chair. My expectations were not super high, but I needed something inexpensive but decent, and quickly so that my wife could recline in comfort following surgery.
This has exceeded my expectations in that regard… it’s very comfy and the pleather (or whatever they call it) looks ok and is soft and pleasant to the touch.
The legs on the chair and footstool are, I presume, some kind of MDF, but they are heavy duty and close enough to solid wood for any casual observer.
The assembly instructions were reasonably good, and it probably took me about an hour (I think) to get the chair and footstool put together. The box they came in was surprisingly small and I’d though there must be something missing but it’s just very well organised!
As others have mentioned, the massage is more of the “vibrate” variety.. rather than the high-end ones you find in shopping centres where there are things moving about under the material. Still, it’s what I expected, and there are a good range of programs and power level settings so that you can make it focus on shoulders or lower back for instance. It’s definitely nice, and relaxing, though it’s not like having an actual massage 🙂
The heat is great and separately controllable.
The recliner doesn’t slide into a full horizontal sleeping position, more of a very relaxed slump… but it’s enough to sleep if you really want to.
When you want to get out, the mechanism makes it quite easy to return to an upright position.
Overall, I really like it, though I would prefer it to be a little bit softer and more padded / supportive, but it’s the kind of chair where, several hours of sitting later, you’re still comfortable… whereas some chairs are initially seemingly comfy and then after a while you start to ache.
I’ve spent more on chairs that were nowhere near as good, so I continue to be very happy with this.
Good chair.
Can be difficult to put together on your own and is a lot easier with two people for assembling. The chair is sturdy and is good value for the money. The chair vibrates more then massages. All round not a bad chair.
My sibling and I bought the for our mothers 50th birthday. And she absolutely love it, so comfy and easy to put together. Worth every penny. Thank you so much
Your worth it... buy one.
So what a chair. Got different modes. For messages. Nice. Good price. Works will. A bit noisy on full. But you forget about that in time. Put some music on. Cup tea. And chill out.
They chair is very easy to put together. The chair seems well made and is very comfortable and the heat and massage is a great feature. Me and my husband are very happy with our new chairs.
Bought whilst waiting for a sofa. But now the sofa has finally come i think I prefer the chair!
Don’t use the massage much but the heat is optional (some reviews said massage was always hot).
Massage chai
Rather low if you have back problems. Seat padding could do with being thicker.
Heat and massage very nice.
Glad I bought it.
Likes
The price.
Ease of setting up. (help is much appreciated)
Relative comfort (I use a tempur cushion)
Light.
Attractive.
Dislikes
Feels wobbly.
Massage is not as therapeutic as I thought it would be.
Hope it is built to last – my cat has already done some damage cleaning her claws. The outer covering is thin.
Conclusion
I like it.
Very comfy chair for my back. Doesnt recline that far back, which is great for me as I have a small dining room. The massage function is lovely and the main reason I bought the chair. Love my chai
Bought for my mother in law who is thrilled with ...
Bought for my mother in law who is thrilled with the chair and cannot speak more highly of it, thank you.
Great chair, minor issues
Very pleased with this chair – assembly was very straightforward, chair looks great, and is very comfortable. Reclining is a bit awkward to control, and my wife would like the massager to be more intense, but otherwise, a great produc
Really comfortable chair. Well packaged in delivery which can mean it is a problem getting it out. One issue on assembly was that on one of the armrests the wholes for the screws do not align. Really comfortable to sit in and the footstool is at the right height although not adjustable. The massage function is OK but not really my bag. Like the heat function but it is a gentle warmth.
Five Stars
Awesome Chair had it a couple weeks now very good delivery
So far so good. Value for money and extremely comfortable
So far so good. Value for money and extremely comfortable, took a bit of time to put together, but it looks very good in my sitting room
bought 2 of these for the living room, and although only put 1 up at the moment, its wonderful….. here’s hoping the 2nd one is just as good.. thanks
The chair came promptly in the morning, the packaging was very secure and tightly packed up, took around 25 mins with 2 people building this, instructions are simply and straight forward. Once it was up and running the chair is very well built, only the foot stool legs that a come slightly loose. The Chair is very comfortable for watching footy and the occasional movie, the massager and heat is great also not the most powerful but it does the job, not something that all people would enjoy, not for people who love big soft chairs as this isn’t. Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to use this as a gaming chair or just a relaxing one.
Fragile but functional
Easy to assemble and operate. Unfortunately one of the legs broke as I bent down to pick something up off the floor. Not as sturdy as I’d hoped – design flaw more than a faulty piece I’d think. Will try and get a replacement but for the price, I think it’s still pretty good for the price though – just have to treat it a little more carefully. The massage function is more a vibration than massage, and the heat only seems to emanate from the lower back area at a comfortable temperature.
This is a really comfortable chair. I bought this because it was on offer and I wanted a reclining chair so the vibration and heat were an added extra. As stated by another purchaser you cannot have the heat on without vibration but it doesn’t really detract. The only complaint I have it that the intructions for putting it together were not that clear and you do need two people to put the main part of the chair onto the base.
I bought this chair due to my old one being a pain in the neck (literally! I used to get an aching neck!) The chair was delivered in one large box, well packed. Inside the box it contained all the tools and parts you need to assemble the chair. On my own I managed to put the chair and stool together in around 45 minutes so it would probably have been 25 mins with two people.
The wires for vibration / heat etc come out of the back right hand side of the chair. The recline function works well by sitting back to recline or forward to bring the chair upright again, this is all very smooth and easy to do. The massage function is more of a vibrate function with 3 levels of intensity and a variety of patterns in which the chair targets different areas of the body. You can also select certain areas to activate on their own e.g lumbar and shoulders, back and thighs etc. It’s a good system that works well and makes little noise. The heat function works in the lumbar area and will heat up for a period before shutting off again, getting nicely warm without getting too hot.
The leather effect looks good and the chair is very comfortable to sit in, highly recommended
well packaged,well made,half hour to put together,would recommend
Five Stars
Look and feel amazing, great craftsmanship on the whole packaging and product. Highly recommend.
Was as easy as said to build
Arrived on time. Was as easy as said to build. Works perfectly. Highly recommended
I have had this chair for 2 months now and am very happy with it. We didn’t have any problems putting it together and it’s very comfortable, the massager is a dream.
excelle
Comfortable, easy to assemble. Great value for money. Delivery driver not very happy
I am very happy with the chair I had to spend a short time putting it together no need to worry about tools they come with the kit, the Heat and massager work well.
