A lift-recliner chair includes a base portion and a seat portion pivotally connected to the base portion about a first pivot axis. The chair also includes a back portion pivotally connected to the seat portion about a second pivot axis and an actuator assembly for moving the seat portion with respect to the base and back portions with respect to the seat portion to alter the chair configuration. The base portion includes a pair of substantially vertical side panels and a rear panel extending between the side panels. The seat portion includes a seat frame having a pair of substantially vertical side panels arranged substantially parallel with and adjacent to the respective side panels of the base portion and a curved rear panel extending between the side panels of the base portion. The center of curvature of the curved rear panel is substantially coincident with the first pivot axis.
