Benefits of technology

The present invention is an office recliner that can be used as a normal office chair or as a recliner by simply pulling out the footstool and lifting up the panel. The backrest angle can be adjusted to the user's choice, and the footstool can be easily saved space when not needed. The recliner function allows the user to rest comfortably without having to stand up and get a footstool. The simple operation of pulling out the footstool and pushing a button to recline makes the invention convenient and easy to use.

Problems solved by technology

Generally, combining an office chair with the function of a recliner makes the chair very big, or the user may require a separate footstool which takes up extra space in the room.
Such composition makes it very hard for the user to use such a chair in a small office or a small room.
