The Risedale is designed with a classic wing-back style that fits in any home's decor, yet the Risedale is much more than a great looking chair. The Risedale has a hidden seat-lift mechanism under the cushion that gently lifts you up when you have trouble doing it yourself. Unlike other lift chairs, the Risedale can be positioned against the wall yet still operate perfectly. When not in use, the Risedale's lift lever can be removed. People will never suspect that such a great looking chair contains a seat-lift too.
