How 'Elevated' can legs go? to Seat-level (i.e. perpendicular to the [upright] chair-back); Higher? & -Are the Leg-rests "Cheap", per one review?

Actually at first this was a good solution. However a back rest adjustment bracket failed and the supplier is non responsive as far as selling a replacement part. Buy somewhere else.

They don't get perpendicular to the chair seat , but they do raise up approx. 90% of the way up. And the Leg rests are not "cheap", they are Very sturdy. Hope this helps you out. I have had this chair for almost two years now and the only thing that I've had to replace is the Vinyl seat and back (Cause my Hubby uses this chair many times each day , and sometimes sleeps in it)~Blessings

Leg rests can go level with seat and maybe slightly higher (10-15% angle higher). Regards,

Not exactly perpendicular, maybe a couple inches below. As far as cheap, they are pretty standard footrests on most wheelchairs so can't really say.

It will be all "flat" when back reclined and legs elevated. Cheap leg-rests? It's standard for all wheelchairs -- easy to clean/sanitize. I take it outside and spray it with the hose after treating it with Clorox. I use special cover for leg-rests. Indeed, you can elevate legs higher if put pillow under knees.

I suppose by adjusting back legs differently . the point is for ease of leaving chair . it is a gentle tilt barely noticed.

They both can be elevated but for me i didnt really elevate them bc it seemed a bit awkward the angle didnt really seem comfortable but maybe because i am tall or didnt adjust them correctly. But the length can be adjusted. Hope this helps!

The seat is in the lowest posible position in that photo. You'd never use it that way, but I guess you'd just put your feet on the floor if you really wanted to sit that low. The stool is comfortable and the footrest is in a good position. I'm 6'2" and I'm comfortable on it. I usually have one foot on the ground and the other on the footrest so I can rest the guitar on one knee, if that makes sense. I never bother to put the backrest on because I always lean forward when I play.

There isn't a leg height adjustment for the chair, it does sit a little low though so as long as you could straddle it and feet touch the ground it will work. I am 5ft 4 and I think someone a lot shorter would be able to use it. I looks like you would just sit on it but the safest way to sit on it is to straddle it and use the handle as an arm rest.

there is a stick level on the rt side of the chair. when u lift the level it up, the chair will go higher as u wanted it be. when lower the sit down, make sure u sit on it and then pull the level up to go down. any question let me know ok.

I think the elevating means you can elevate your legs (straight). The distance from the floor to the bottom of the seat is 17"

Yes the Padded leg rest does allow you to adjust the elevation level. It does hold the level of elevation very well. I use it myself every time I am in the chair.

I'm 5 foot seven and the chair was too high for my feet to touch the ground, and that was at the lowest setting it would go. I only use it occasionally at my desk. I had to purchase a different brand you use on a daily basis. But the chair was at a good price. I hope this was some help to you. Otherwise I think it would be comfortable it's well-made.

No, feet are not higher than your heart when reclining.You can rock the chair and momentarily be in zero gravity.

It was a gift to my daughter but I can tell you it's not high. With a knee surgery it might be hard to get up. I had hip surgery and I don't recommend it. Love the chair other than its low to the ground.

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.

Not sure exactly where the head rest on a person who is that tall, I'm only 5'4 and my husband is 5'8, and it's comfortable for both of us (probably too small for you). I'm sitting in it now (all 5'4 of me) and my the top of my head extends approx. 1-2 inches above the top of the headrest. The problem with the chair is that the hydraulic lift doesn't work (or whatever it is that allows you to adjust the height). So you can lift the seat up, but it quickly falls back into the lowest position upon being sat in. And if you're 6 feet tall, you're going to want it to be in the higher(est) position. I know this $100 chair is tempting, but I suggest going to Costco or Office Max/Depot and sitting (bouncing) in their chairs and make sure they don't fall.

This chair only has one reclining position. It will not recline far enough for you to have your legs above your heart. Hope this answers your question.

It's preset position (not independent) for both legs & back. As you recline, the legs go up 1st til reach ~80% then back tilts so that if legs fully up you're probably about a 10-20% back recline. Then proceeds from there to full back recline. We've found using a pillow behind helps if want the legs full up.

On the right side of the chair, there is an indentation in the chair with a small handle which you pull up and back. this allows the foot rest to actually ppop up, if you do nit attempt to put your legs on the foot rest to allow it to bring it up gently. i found it extremely difficult to bring the foot rest back into the a"chair position" for the first week or so, but now it is doing just fine.i found no button or lever to cause the foot rest to go back to the original position; it must be pushed back until you hear a 'click'.

Don't know.But having articulating elevated leg rests are what we got.My husband is in the hospital so we haven't checked it out yet.A medical supply company can probably answer your question.Joanne Klein
