About the Capri Lift Chair

The Capri is Golden Technologie’s entry level lift chair. It has a button back design and is a 2-position lift chair. It is meant for individuals between 5’4″ and 5’10”. There is a built in chaise pad. The recliner is available in Spring, Rosewood, Cornflower, and Autumn.

Reviews

This chair received 4.5 stars out of 24 reviews on Spinlife. Here were what reviewers said:

The chair is as advertised.
The chair blends well with other furniture.
The remote control is easy to use.
The arm covers slip off easily.

Price

The Capri costs $599. This is $170 less than the average cost for a 2-position lift chair. However, this is also $100 more than the lowest price for 3-position lift chair.

Warranty

The Golden Technology warranty is a great warranty but the Capri has a much more limited warranty. It has a 6 month warranty on labor for the frame, lifting mechanism, and reclining mechanism. There is a 1 year warranty on the electrical parts with the labor covered for the first 6 months.

This is much shorter than other manufacturers — and much much shorter than Golden’s standard 7 year warranty with years 4-7 prorated.

Conclusion

The Capri is a 2-position lift chair that is cheap for its category but should be avoided. One can buy a lower price 3-position lift chair. The warranty is very, very bad. We rate this chair 2 out of 5 stars because of its good reviews. Buy on Amazon.

Lift Chair Types & Positions

There are three types of lift chairs: two position lift chairs, three position lift chairs, and infinite position lift chairs.
Two position lift chairs can go into the sitting and 15° recline position. The back and ottoman does not move independently.
Three position lift chairs can go into the sitting, 15° recline, and 45° recline position. The back and ottoman does not move independently.
Infinite position lift chairs can go recline into any position, even 90°. If an infinite position lift chair offers a Zero-gravity position, it means that the sitter's body is positioned in a way that reduces stress on the joints. The Trendelenburg position is one where the sitter's feet are higher than his/her head. The sleep position is one where the sitter lays flat.

Lift Chair Shipping & Handling

Lift chairs are shipped with freight shipping. A truck will come to one's house and drop the box off where it is convenient. This is usually the driveway but, for individuals with long driveways or are on dirt roads, it can mean around the block. Lift chairs weight at least 100 pounds so, be prepared with helpers to bring it inside. With most companies, the delivery person will not deliver the lift chair into one's home unless in-home delivery has been ordered. Lift chairs also require assembly. Once again, it costs extra (called "white glove delivery"). Have helpers for assembly. In conclusion, on delivery day, have 2 strong individuals who can bring the chair into the home and assembly the chair.
