The piece presents a slick, monochromatic recliner that is specially developed to fit and satisfy the needs of an older consumer. Although great emphasis has been put on the comfort levels of the chair, Red Barrel Studios also paid attention to the appearance of the product, realizing that the feature might sway the purchasing decisions of more style-minded consumers.

The lift assist chair comes in three colorways — creme, brown and black, and it boasts a wired controller with buttons that initiate lifting and reclining actions. The piece is upholstered with a polyester blend and the total weight capacity of the assist chair is 300 pounds.
