Is the footrest extenderable?

Yes but not too much. The footrests move in or more out. Great chair all around ...

The footrests but be purchased separately. They are available in either aluminum or composite.

I don't think there is one answer. I had to get used to the lever to extend the footrest, as the chair this replaced did not use a lever. Otherwise, it is easy to recline and extend the footrest. You also have to use the lever to bring the footrest back. I have had mine for over a year, and find that I can get the footrest back with my legs - it will snap into place and bring the lever with it. I am 5'6" tall and my arms are just long enough to reach and operate the lever. This could be an issue for shorter people.

The seat itself can be adjusted and raised from its position. However the footrest cannot be raised as I thought it would. There is another model that allows the footrest to be raised separately...I wish that I had purchased the latter myself.

no! When the foot rest comes up the back goes down slightly until the foot rest is all the way up then it reclines as far as you want it.

I am 6' and when fully reclined my heels just barely touch the end of the foot rest and my head is near the top of the backrest. The longest of any lounger that I have tried including Lazy Boy. A great sturdy chair with a wide and long seat. Only drawback is that the footrest is not controlled by a power option or a lever, thus it is retracted by physically pushing it down or kicking it back into position. Difficult if the user has foot or leg problems.

Only height. You can adjust the height of the foot rest as well, but adjusting the angle of the back is not possible.

Short answer is yes. I found a footrest to be very helpful for longtime standing comfort.

Yes. The foot rests aren't attached but they just slide into place and lock.

Jim, the entire footrests can be removed. This chair is very lightweight and is helpful in traveling. However, for everyday use it is not substantial. My Dad is very small and no where close to the weight limit on the chair but it has broken and been replaced once and the replacement chair doesn't appear to be any more substantial than the original one. The company was very quick to send us a replacement when the first chair broke but the second one's left handle is very loose, as the first was, and I am scared that it will break in the same place as the first. We had the first for about 6 weeks when it broke. Jim, the entire footrests can be removed. This chair is very lightweight and is helpful in traveling.

I'm pretty sure you can't remove the foot rest. If I remember correctly I called the company when I first got the chair and they said you can't. The foot rest is too high for me so I stopped using the chair.

Hi, Ida--I don't use the footrest either. Yes, the entire metal part that supports the footrests comes off for both legs, leaving just the chair and comfortable space for your legs. I'll add that I'm extremely happy with this chair all around. It's comfortable, lightweight, sturdy, and does its job well. I highly recommend it, especially for the price. Good luck!

The footrest is attached....but on the chair I received, it was not level so I returned the chair and got a much better quality one for less money at Pier 1.

Yes, there is a screw on the bottom of the foot rest that when loosed allows you to adjust the length. You have to turn the chair upside down to see this, or make an adjustment.

I have not had occasion to adjust the foot rest. I haven't found a mechanism for adjusting the length.
