Info: Due to the 450 pound weight capacity (when evenly distributed) the FR587W Recliner has two gas pistons to assist in the recline and return of the back. One piston assists during the rearward movement of the back, the other piston assists during the return of the back to an upright position. For this reason, in order for the gas piston to operate properly, a person of at least 150 lb (68 kg) should be sitting in the recliner.
