I am in my late 60s and am 5'11" and over 300 lbs. I don't know if I am over the weight limit for this chair or not, but it is very comfortable; so much so that this is my second one. \nThe first one I purchased 4 years ago because I wanted a manual lever, ultra firm seat and need a wall hugger. This chair has a very comfortable but very firm seat and only needs to be 3-4 inches from the wall to fully recline.\nDue to sleep apnea, I usually end up sleeping in this chair, so I am in it just about every night, in addition to when I am using it during the day. Therefore, it gets a lot of use. Over the years, the firmness slowly went away and it finally got to the point that I wanted to get a new one, which just arrived today. Other than the firmness in the seat, the rest of the chair held up well and still looks like new. I think it will make the next recipient very happy, once I find someone to give it to.\nI bought it online and actually paid less then when I bought the first one in the store 4 years ago. The delivery charge was well worth it, as the guys came here exactly when they said they would and set up the chair right where I wanted it. Outstanding delivery service with excellent communication throughout the process.\nTo sum up, this is a basic no frills, but very comfortable recliner that does not take up a lot of space. It is smart looking and should go with just about any decor.\nI highly recommend this Nerviano recliner.
