I have a manual operated Barcalounger chair. It's about 5 years old. The issue is that the back sags and does not stay upright. I had a furniture guy what he thought was a repair. It stayed for about 3 days, but then it's loose again. I am definitely not happy with this purchase. I may just nail it in the upright position permanently.
