4. How do I clean and maintain the lift chair?
To keep your chair looking new, vacuum it regularly using a soft brush attachment and blot spills right away. For stains, use a mild water-based upholstery cleaner, testing it first on a hidden area. Avoid soaking the fabric. Wipe electronic parts with a dry microfiber cloth, check cords for wear, and always unplug the chair before cleaning.
5. How difficult is assembly and setup?
Assembly is simple and takes about 15–30 minutes. You’ll just need to slide the backrest into the base, attach the side bolsters, connect the color-coded wires, install the lithium battery pack, and plug in the power cord. No special tools are required, but having an extra pair of hands can make the process easier.
6. What are the chair dimensions and space requirements?
The chair measures 33" wide by 41" high, with a seat that’s 21" wide and 21" deep. It requires at least 14" of space behind it to recline fully. The seat height from the floor is 19", and the chair itself weighs approximately 142 lbs.
7. What health benefits does the Metro 2 provide?
The Metro 2 is designed to enhance comfort and promote well-being. It helps reduce the risk of falls by assisting with sitting and standing, relieves pressure on joints, and supports healthy posture. The zero-gravity recline improves blood circulation, reduces leg swelling, eases back pain, and encourages deeper breathing. The power headrest and lumbar support allow for customized positioning to relieve neck and back strain.
