How does the lift function work?

A hand remote runs the motor, which raises the seat and tilts it forward to help you stand. The same remote reclines the back and raises the footrest.

How much room does it need behind it?

Leave several inches of clearance behind the back so the recline can travel without hitting a wall. Measure your space before ordering.

Is it good for someone recovering from surgery?

Yes, that is its main use. The lift takes strain off the knees and hips when standing, and the recline lets you put your feet up.

How do I clean the microfiber?

Wipe spills with a damp cloth and mild soap, and vacuum the fabric regularly. Microfiber handles everyday dirt well.

Does it come assembled?

It ships in pieces and the back usually slots onto the base. Two people should set it up because of the weight.

Who is it not right for?

People who want a soft, plush seat or a quiet chair may prefer a standard recliner. It is also heavy for small rooms.

Our take on the Steelside 36.6" Wide Power Lift Recliner Chair

The Steelside power lift recliner is a 36.6-inch-wide microfiber chair with a motorized lift that tilts the seat forward to help you stand. It suits older buyers, people recovering from surgery, and anyone with knee or hip trouble who still wants a normal-looking living room chair. Against plain recliners it adds the lift function; against medical lift chairs it looks more like furniture and comes in two microfiber colors. Owners rate it 4.3 out of 5 across 433 ratings, with comfort and the lift praised and a few complaints about firmness and motor noise.
