Comfortable, and a good size for small spaces.

I wanted a recliner, and I needed one small enough to fit comfortably in a small studio apartment. Most recliners are much too bulky, and I needed something that would be practical while not causing the room to feel cramped or cluttered. I also didn't want to spend a lot of money on it, because I plan to move within the next year or two. I also have cats, and any chair will automatically, by default, become a new scratch post for them, whether I like it or not. While browsing on Amazon, I came across this recliner by Giantex. Since this product was new to Amazon, there wasn't any reviews to help me to make an informed purchase. I browsed at other recliners that were similar in construction, and size, and in the same price bracket. The massage function was an additional benefit. I really just needed a chair. I eventually chose this one. It's not bad, for a petite recliner. It is petite. It's designed like a chair that reclines, not a recliner. The height of the back piece from seat cushion to top, is about 25". I am 5'6 1/2" and when the chair is in a fully upright (seated) position, I cannot rest my head on it. The back piece reaches to just about the middle of my neck. However, in any of the reclining positions, I am able to rest my head onto the back of it. If you are 5'5" or shorter, it's a good fit. If you are any taller, it's not going to work out very well as a typical recliner. I think that it is most suitable as a recliner for a teen or young child's game room, but it can work for adults also. It is great for small spaces and fits comfortably in a studio apartment. Despite the minor inconvenience of the height of the back piece, it's a lot nicer "in person" than it is online. It looks like any other faux leather chair. The frame is very sturdy and the cushions are a decent depth, though there isn't a lot of cushion around the armrests, or sides. Since this chair has a modern design, the arm rests are positioned lower than those on other recliners, but they are still at a comfortable height on which to rest ones arms. It is a lot more comfortable than I expected for it to be. It's certainly not a La-Z-Boy or a Serta, but it is still very nicely made, and the comfort level is adequate. I sat in the chair, as I worked on my laptop, and wrote this review. The massage function works extremely well and is comparable to any other massage chair on the market. I wasn't expecting for it to work as well as it did. The box in which it arrives weighs about 60lbs. If one is in need of transporting it up a flight of stairs, it's definitely a two person job. It is nicely packaged. It arrives almost completely assembled. Further assembly takes about five minutes - literally. All one needs to do is attach the back piece and legs, and plug in the massage wires. The feet are made of a hard plastic and screw easily into the pre-drilled holes in the bottom of the chair. One thing that really impressed me was the customer service by Giantex. The shipment of this recliner was delayed by eight days due to Covid-19 shipping delays. I contacted the seller and was going to cancel my order. The seller was quick to respond, and very apologetic, even offering a slight discount if I could just wait a few more days. I chose to do that, mostly because I just really needed a chair to sit in. This was not a Prime purchase, but shipping was eventually quick after the initial delay. I give Giantex five stars for excellent customer service. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase, and on account of their exemplary customer service, I would definitely purchase additional pieces from Giantex again.

Excellent Product

I took a leap of faith as there were no reviews and it appeared to be a new product on Amazon. I ordered two brown chairs. One of the chairs arrived earlier than scheduled and the 2nd chair arrived on time. They are very easy to assemble and are very comfortable. The material is soft and easy to keep clean. I went with this product as it had the massager which is an added benefit. They seem to be sturdy and I do not anticipate any problems with the chairs. We are larger people and we do not feel cramped. I highly recommend these chairs.

Very comfortable

They were delivered a day early! Assembled so fast! Absolutely amazing chair. You can lay all the way back and however you want it to be, also there are different durations and settings on the massage options very easy to use with the manual. Very durable and nice material matches any room since the black color. Would recommend to anyone looking for a massage chair and would definitely recommend to my relatives. Great chair would definitely buy another one sooner or later when I find room for it.

Solid recliner, Great value!

Very easy install, snap the back piece on to the body, connect your power sources with ease, twist the legs on and your ready to go. It’s a bit thinner so be aware of the dimensions width wise but great for a small space and massage function seems to work great. You have 8 different massage functions to choose from. Excellent recliner for the price. I’m 5’10 and 225 and fit pretty well although legs hang a bit I’m comfortable.

Great little chair

First off: I’d give 10 stars for delivery alone. I ordered on 7/20 and it stated it would be delivered between late July and early August. It arrived 2 days later on 7/22! That was awesome. It is very easy to put together and I am not someone that is good at things like that AT ALL. But I did it all myself, including moving it to the space. My only negative is that it is a tad smaller than I was anticipating. Several reviews pegged this as a “petite” chair and that is accurate. But I am 90% ok with that since the area I had (a home office/reading/writing area) is small. Also I really only wanted something where I could sit at for awhile with my feet up and read or write. I should easily be able to do that with a lap desk on my lap while sitting in this chair. The massage action is bonus for sure! The soft grey color is actually quite nice and blends in with the other colors I’ve got in there. I really can’t complain about this chair at all.

The Good, The Bad & The UGLY

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. THE GOOD: I was so excited to find a "petite" recliner, because I am only 5'1", it is the perfect size for me. It is also perfect for Small Space. I received my chair within 5 days. Very comfortable and I love the massage features. THE BAD: There were no "CLEAR" instructions. It does not fit well in a corner space or near a wall. I have to pull the chair out at LEAST 20 inches from the wall to fully recline. THE UGLY: I sent 3 emails and 2 messages on their website and then finally I contacted the seller on Amazon before I recieved any information. The chair has a sizeable space between the back of the seat and the bottom of the back. The back of the chair is very "wobblely". I have post pictures and a video to verify THE GOOD, THE BAD, & THE UGLY

VERY nice small recliner

We bought this for our 5th wheel trailer. We needed two of them to replace the previous seating. We had purchased a different brand of chair last year - it was good. This one looks about the same but is WAY more cushy and attractive and it does recline fully. Great chair. My husband is 6 ft and about 220 and it works well for him. Very simple to assemble as the back just slides on and you are done.
