Most people search for the best lift chairs for small spaces because their living room simply cannot absorb the footprint of a standard power lift recliner. A conventional lift chair needs somewhere between 20 and 24 inches of clear floor behind it to finish its recline, and plenty of apartments, bedrooms and RVs do not have that number to give. Compact and wall-hugger designs solve it by rebuilding the track so the chair travels forward as it reclines, which drops the rear clearance requirement into the 4 to 8 inch range.
That single number, not the upholstery or the massage program, decides whether a chair can live in your room at all. Our team spent six weeks comparing the dimensions, seat geometry, motor layout and delivery weight of the six compact power lift recliners that clear the bar, and we cross-checked every figure against the manufacturer listings before writing this guide.
What follows is a roundup where every pick has been filtered on three things: measured overall width, rear clearance, and whether the chair can physically reach the room in the first place. We also cover sizing for short users, the single-motor versus dual-motor question, and the Medicare seat-lift rules that decide who gets help paying. If you are also short on room elsewhere, our picks for ergonomic office chairs for small home offices solve the same kind of problem in a different category.

How We Filtered Lift Chairs for Tight Rooms
We did not rank these chairs on feature count. A chair with ten massage nodes and no wall clearance is useless in a 10 foot wide living room, and a chair that fits the room but cannot get through the front door is worse.
Every pick here had to clear four filters. The first is measured overall width, taken from the published item dimensions rather than the marketing name. The second is the recline architecture: how many positions it reaches and whether the backrest and footrest move independently. The third is weight capacity matched to a realistic body, because a compact frame that stops at 250 lb is not a solution for many people. The fourth is unit weight, which tells you whether two people can get it indoors at all.
One chair in this group did not pass our footprint filter. It measured 38 by 38 by 43 inches and weighed 200 pounds, which is a full-size chair with a small chair’s label attached. We kept it in the list because its side armrest stand-assist control genuinely helps people with limited mobility, but we flagged the footprint clearly rather than pretending it is compact.
1. MCombo 7141 Small Power Lift Recliner – The Best All-Round Compact Lift Chair
MCombo Small Power Lift Recliner Chair for Elderly, Heat and Massage 7141
32.7 in wide x 35.8 in deep
350 lb capacity
105 lb unit weight
2 reclining positions
+ The Good
- Narrowest mainstream MCombo frame at 32.7 inches
- 350 lb capacity in a small frame
- Tool-free assembly in about 20 minutes
- USB and Type-C charging on the armrest
- 8-node massage with independent lumbar heat
- The Bad
- Only 2 reclining positions with linked movement
- Thin footrest padding in some units
- Massage nodes can press against feet and ankles
I put the 7141 first because it is the chair I would hand to a family that asked for one decision instead of a research project. At 32.7 inches wide and 105 pounds, it is the easiest of the six to move through a hallway and the easiest to squeeze beside a sofa. The lift itself is the part owners write about most, and it is genuinely useful: the seat tilts forward and rises to a standing position without the user having to rock forward and push.
The counter-balanced lift actuator is TUV certified, and the two-button remote is simple enough that a confused relative can operate it. My one frustration in a room this size is the position count. Two reclining positions means the backrest and footrest move together, so you either sit upright or you lie back. There is no middle stop for reading.
The comfort package is better than it needs to be at this size. You get eight vibration nodes with three modes and three intensity levels, plus a separate lumbar heat zone, and the massage timer offers 15, 30 and 60 minute auto-off. Reviewers note the nodes run down the legs as well as the back, which is unusual in a small frame. Cup holders, side pockets and both USB and Type-C ports sit within reach of the seated position.
The complaints cluster around padding rather than mechanics. Footrest massager nodes can feel uncomfortable against bare feet and ankles, the footrest cushion itself is thin in some units, and the back and head padding can feel firm for an afternoon nap. A minority of owners also hit wiring confusion during assembly or ended up with an uneven arm that the company replaced. Assembly itself takes about 20 minutes with no tools, which matters in a hallway.
Who this chair suits in a small room
This is the pick for a user around 5 foot tall up to 5 foot 10 who wants a straightforward sit, recline, stand cycle in a 10 foot wide room. The 18.9 inch seat height is one of the lower numbers in this group, which helps shorter users plant their feet. At 350 pounds it also handles more body weight than most petite frames, and reviewers repeatedly describe the small frame as comfortable rather than cramped for a single user.
Because it is a two-position chair, treat it as a daytime recliner and short nap chair, not an overnight bed. If sleeping in the chair matters to you, move to pick three.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you plan to sleep in it regularly, because a two-position chair has no lay-flat stop and you will end up perching. Skip it if you need lumbar or headrest adjustment in the reclined position, since nothing moves independently. If your room is genuinely under 34 inches of usable width, look at the cinkehome at number five instead.
2. MCombo 7893 Petite Dual Motor Lift Recliner – Best for Short Users
MCombo Small Dual Motor Power Lift Recliner Chair for Petite Elderly, 7893
Designed for 4 ft 6 in to 5 ft 2 in
20 in seat height
320 lb capacity
165 degree infinite position
+ The Good
- Manufacturer sizing targets users 4 foot 6 to 5 foot 2
- Dual motors move backrest and footrest independently
- Zero gravity position
- Extended footrest prevents dangling feet
- Home button returns to upright in one press
- The Bad
- Shorter seat depth frustrates taller users
- Cup holders shorten usable armrest length
- Bright control LED in a dark room
- No memory position preset
This is the chair on the list that was built for a specific body rather than a specific room, and that is exactly why it wins for shorter users. The manufacturer sizing runs from 4 foot 6 to 5 foot 2, and reviewers of petite lift chair sizing describe the Small frame as the correct match for a small elderly relative. The 20 inch seat height and 21.6 inch seat depth put the knees at a comfortable angle instead of dangling.
Unlike the 7141, the two motors let the backrest and footrest run independently to a 165 degree infinite position, and a home button returns everything upright in a single press. The zero gravity position elevates the legs to heart level, and one owner with compression fractures reports real relief from it. If you are picking for post-hip or knee surgery recovery, a chair that doubles as a sleeping chair matters as much as the lift.
It is still a compact chair, at 35 inches wide and 28.8 inches deep, but the extended footrest is what sets it apart. Reviewers of petite frames usually complain that short seat depth leaves tall people’s feet unsupported, and the extended footrest here is the direct answer to that problem. Massage is 8 points plus one lumbar heat point on a 10, 20 or 30 minute auto-off, with 2 cup holders and USB charging.
At 138.3 pounds this is the second-heaviest chair we tested in this group, so plan on two people for delivery. The ergonomic complaints are the most common: the cup holder position shortens the armrests and can force awkward arm placement, the control unit LED is distracting at night, and there is no memory preset, so you re-dial your position every time. Heat controls also give no indication of which zone is active or when it cuts out.
Why the sizing details matter more than the width
Two of the most common questions about lift chairs are about short people, and the answer is usually ignored. Seat-to-floor height decides whether you can reach the footrest and stand safely. If you are around 5 foot 3, a 24 inch seat height on a large chair will leave your feet flat on the floor with your knees above them, which is exactly the situation that makes standing difficult.
Check three numbers against your body before you commit: the seat height, the seat depth, and the stated user height range. If you fall at the top of the range, expect the footrest to feel short. If you fall below it, expect the backrest to hit your shoulders.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you are taller than about 5 foot 2, because the seat depth and footrest are built for smaller frames. Skip it if you are over 320 pounds. If you plan to move the chair yourself between rooms, the 138 pound weight argues for the pick at number one instead.
3. MCombo 7631 3-Motor Power Lift Recliner – Best Lay-Flat Option in a Small Frame
MCombo 3 Motor Power Lift Recliner, Heat and Massage, 7631, Small
34.6 in wide x 29.9 in deep
165 degree lay-flat
350 lb capacity
128.1 lb unit weight
+ The Good
- Three motors plus a power headrest that adjusts independently
- Near-flat 165 degree recline is comfortable enough to sleep in
- 4.7 inch extended footrest
- Backlit remotes with large buttons
- Tool-free assembly in about 15 minutes
- The Bad
- Gap opens between back and seat when fully reclined
- Lightly padded armrest backs can creak
- Vibration zone stops below the shoulders
- Occasional massage module failures
The 7631 is the only chair here with three independent motors, and the third one is the headrest. That sounds like a small detail until you try to sleep: you can raise the head and shoulders while the backrest, seat and footrest hold their own positions, instead of sliding forward in a reclined chair. Reviewers call the adjustable headrest the feature that lets them sit and sleep supported rather than slumped.
It also reaches 165 degrees, which reviewers repeatedly describe as more comfortable for overnight sleep than chairs costing considerably more. The footprint is 34.6 by 29.9 by 42.1 inches, with a 350 pound capacity and a 128.1 pound unit weight. It ships in three boxes and assembles in about 15 minutes without tools, which is faster than most competitors in this group.
Comfort details are well judged. There is a pillow-top headrest, generous padding through the seat, an extended footrest at 4.7 inches that supports the calves rather than letting the legs hang, and 8-point vibration massage with three modes plus separate lumbar and seat heat zones. Backlit remotes with large buttons are easy to find in a dim room, which is a real benefit for a chair used at night.
The criticisms are fine-grained. A gap opens between the back and the seat when fully reclined unless you reposition the lumbar pillow, the armrest backs are lightly padded and can creak under weight, and the massage zone stops below the shoulders. Some owners have had the massage module fail after a few months, and one lost an hour to an undocumented second power supply for the heat remote.
How to check whether the chair will reach your room
Before ordering, measure the narrowest point in the delivery path, not just the room. A 34.6 inch wide chair is easy to fit in a living room and impossible to get past a 32 inch door. Check the front door, the hallway, and any corner the chair has to turn through.
Then check the wall behind the chair. This model is a forward-glide infinite position design, but it still travels during the recline, and a 29.9 inch depth does not include the space needed to extend. If your wall is the limiting factor, measure with the chair fully reclined rather than parked.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you need to move the chair between rooms alone, at 128.1 pounds it takes two people. Skip it if your budget is fixed and you have no use for a power headrest. For users over 350 pounds, the chair at number six carries a higher weight capacity but a much thinner review record, so weigh that carefully.
4. PARKOL Stand Assist Power Lift Recliner – Best for One-Press Standing
PARKOL Stand Assist Power Lift Recliner Chair for Limited Mobility Elderly
38 in wide x 38 in deep x 43 in high
300 lb capacity
200 lb unit weight
160 degree recline
+ The Good
- Stand-assist button mounted on the side armrest
- Quiet single motor
- Water-resistant PU leather wipes clean
- 160 degree recline
- Tool-free setup in 10 to 20 minutes
- The Bad
- 38 inch footprint is large for tight rooms
- 200 pounds makes it hard to reposition
- Wing back suits average frames only
- Single motor limits independent positioning
The thing that stands out here is the control. Instead of reaching for a remote on the armrest, you press a stand-assist button built into the side armrest and the chair lifts. Owners with limited mobility point to that button as the reason the chair is usable day to day without help, which is a different kind of benefit than a massage program.
It is also a 4.5 rated chair from 209 reviews, so the feedback base is thinner than the three MCombo models but consistently positive. The single motor is quiet, and the 160 degree recline is deeper than many basic lift chairs. Upholstery is water-resistant PU leather that wipes clean, which is a sensible choice in a high-traffic room.
Now the honest part. At 38 by 38 by 43 inches and 200 pounds, this is the largest chair in the group, and it is not really a small-space chair by measurement. It needs a real corner of the room and two people to move it. The wing back also suits average frames only, and the 300 pound limit rules it out for larger users. The single motor also means the backrest and footrest move together rather than independently.
We kept it in the roundup because the stand-assist control is genuinely useful and the upholstery is genuinely easier to maintain, not because it wins on footprint. If your space is the real constraint, the first three picks serve you better.
When a bigger chair is the right call
Footprint is not the only constraint. A 23.6 inch seat depth is considerably longer than the petite frames, and that extra length is what makes a tall user comfortable. A roomy chair earns its place when the user is tall, the room has the space, and the priority is the quality of the sit rather than the square footage of the footprint.
Ask whether the room has a straight path to the chair’s position. A 200 pound chair cannot easily be rotated in a tight room once it is in place, so decide the final position before delivery day.
Who should skip it
Skip it for a small apartment or a bedroom shared with other furniture. Skip it if the user is over 300 pounds or is very tall and narrow. Skip it if you expect to reposition it, because 200 pounds is a two-person job every time.
5. cinkehome Small Power Lift Recliner – Narrowest Footprint in the Group
cinkehome Power Lift Recliner Chair for Elderly, Small Electric Recliner
31 in wide x 35.4 in deep x 36 in high
330 lb capacity
95 lb unit weight
3 reclining positions
+ The Good
- Narrowest width here at 31 inches
- Lifts to a true 60 degree upright for standing
- Lightest unit at 95 pounds
- Quiet motor
- Assembles in 5 to 10 minutes
- The Bad
- No massage
- no heat
- no lumbar or neck adjustment
- Unpadded footrest end digs into heels
- Minimal instructions cause arm assembly errors
- Only 3 reclining positions
At 31 inches wide and 95 pounds, this is the chair that fits where nothing else will. The 31 inch width is repeatedly named by buyers as the reason it works in their room, and at 95 pounds it is the only one here a single person can realistically move across a floor. If your usable width is measured in single digits, this is the one to look at first.
The lift reaches a true 60 degree upright, which is the steepest standing angle in the group and makes getting up noticeably easier. The frame is stainless steel and wood, the seat, headrest and backrest use high density foam, and the handheld remote has large buttons that are easy to read. Three reclining positions give you more range than the two-position chairs without going full infinite.
What you give up is features, and buyers describe the trade-off plainly. There is no massage, no heat, no lumbar adjustment and no neck adjustment. The footrest end is unpadded and can dig into the heels when reclined, and the instructions are minimal enough that some people attach the arms on the wrong sides. A minority of owners report one side sitting lower after a few months.
Upholstery is Australian cashmere anti-skid fabric, which breathes better than faux leather in a warm room but needs spot cleaning rather than a wipe-down. For a 95 pound chair with a 330 pound capacity, the frame-to-weight ratio is one of the better ones here.
When the narrowest width wins
Measure the space you actually have, not the space you wish you had. If your available width is under 33 inches, the three MCombo frames are all ruled out before delivery. In that case, 31 inches matters more than any massage feature, and this chair becomes the only realistic answer in this group.
It also works in an RV or a bedroom where the chair has to be moved nightly, since 95 pounds is manageable for most adults. A chair that can be moved to a different wall when the sun moves is a genuine benefit in a small space.
Who should skip it
Skip it if heat and massage are part of your recovery routine, because this chair has neither. Skip it if upholstery that needs spot cleaning is a problem. Skip it if you expect independent backrest and footrest control, since the three positions are linked.
6. BRTHORY Leather Power Lift Recliner – Highest Capacity in a Compact Frame
BRTHORY Leather Power Lift Recliner Chair for Elderly, with Massage & Heat
34 in wide x 36.2 in deep x 40 in high
400 lb capacity
100 lb unit weight
2 reclining positions
+ The Good
- 400 pound metal frame
- the highest capacity here
- Compact 34 inch width
- 8-node massage with adjustable modes plus lumbar heat
- Tool-free setup in under 15 minutes
- Dual cup holders
- side pocket and cable organizers
- The Bad
- Only 2 reclining positions with no independent control
- Review base is thin at 61 reviews
- 21.7 inch seat width suits smaller users
- Vibration only
- no kneading or rolling nodes
The number that sets this chair apart is 400 pounds on a metal frame. Every other chair in this roundup stops between 300 and 350, so if you are above that range and you still need a small footprint, this is the only pick that clears the qualification. The frame is 34 inches wide and 36.2 deep, and the unit weighs 100 pounds, so it is not a compromise on size.
It also has the working feature set: 8 vibration nodes across the back, waist, hips and thighs with adjustable mode and intensity, a lower back heat function, one-touch remote lift assist, dual cup holders, a side pocket and cable organizers. Faux leather wipes clean, and setup takes under 15 minutes without tools.
The trade-offs are real. Only two reclining positions, with no independent backrest and footrest control, means the same linked-movement compromise as the first pick. The 21.7 inch seat width suits smaller users only, which is a genuine tension with a 400 pound capacity. The massage is vibration only, not kneading or rolling.
The bigger caveat is the evidence. With 61 reviews, this is the thinnest feedback base in the group, so long-term durability is not well documented. Buyers of compact lift chairs tend to report that the motor and the hand control are what fail over time, and there is not enough history here to judge either. Treat it as a well-specified but less proven option.
How heavy-duty and compact overlap
The common assumption is that a 400 pound capacity means a wide, heavy chair. That is not automatically true. What drives the footprint is the scissor mechanism and the track length, not the steel gauge, so a metal frame can be built at 34 inches wide. It is worth asking for the published dimensions rather than assuming a capacity rating.
Where the capacity question really bites is seat width. At 21.7 inches, a 400 pound user may find the seat too narrow even when the frame supports the weight. Ask the supplier for the seat width before you commit, and check it against your hips while seated.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want a chair you can sleep in, because two positions with linked movement is not a lay-flat chair. Skip it if you want independent backrest control. Skip it if long-term durability evidence matters more to you than capacity, given the short review history.
Buying Guide: Fitting a Lift Chair Into a Small Room
How much wall clearance do you actually need?
A standard lift chair needs 20 to 24 inches of clear floor behind it to complete a full recline. A compact forward-glide design needs roughly 4 to 8 inches, and the narrowest wall-hugger frames work with about 1.4 inches. Measure from the back of the chair’s parked position to the wall, then confirm the chair can travel without touching it.
Do not estimate this. Lay painter’s tape on the floor to mark the footprint, then sit a person in the taped rectangle and try to stretch their legs out. The gap between the taped area and the wall is the gap the chair will use. This is the fastest way to find out that your room is 6 inches short of what the product page assumed.
Measure the delivery path, not just the room
The most common disappointment in lift chair buying is a chair that fits the room but cannot get into it. Measure the front door, the hallway, and any corner the chair must turn through. Compare the narrowest of those numbers against the chair’s widest dimension, and add a few inches for the hand clearance a delivery crew needs.
Also check for stairs and the elevator dimensions in your building. Heavy units, such as the 200 pound chair at number four, need a planned route with a second person on the stairs. A chair weighing close to 100 pounds is a two-person job in a narrow hallway.
Size the chair to the user, not the room
Seat-to-floor height is the measurement that decides whether someone can stand safely. If your feet do not reach flat on the floor, the lift has to do all the work and the transfer is harder. Measure the user: seat height against their lower leg, seat depth against the back of their knees, and seat width against their hips.
For users around 5 foot 3, look for frames labelled Small or Petite with seat heights in the 18 to 20 inch range, and check the manufacturer’s stated user height range before buying. Standard large frames often run 22 to 24 inches, which leaves shorter users perched.
Single motor, dual motor or three motors
A single motor drives the lift and the recline together, so the backrest and footrest move as one unit to two or three fixed positions. It is quieter and lighter, and it costs less. A dual motor splits the mechanism so the backrest and footrest move independently to an infinite position, which is what you want if you nap or sleep in the chair.
A three-motor chair adds a separately adjustable headrest. That is the feature owners of the pick at number three single out as the reason the chair feels supportive over hours rather than minutes. In a small space the motor count rarely affects the footprint, so it is a comfort decision rather than a space decision.
Space-saving modifications beyond wall-hugger design
There are five adjustments that buy back space without changing chair. First, place the chair on the longest wall in the room so the recline travel runs along the wall rather than into it. Second, choose a frame with a forward-glide track rather than a hinged one, since the glide never needs the 20 to 24 inch allowance. Third, keep the area directly behind the chair clear of side tables and floor lamps.
Fourth, consider a riser or elevated base that shortens the footprint at the front while raising the seat height, which helps users who struggle to stand. Fifth, measure the doorway before ordering, because a chair that cannot enter is the most expensive space mistake you can make. None of these replace a compact frame, but together they often decide whether a chair fits at all.
Medicare and durable medical equipment coverage of the seat lift
Medicare Part B does not cover the chair itself, but it can cover the seat-lift mechanism under four conditions. You must be inside the Medicare benefit period, which means you have Part B coverage and have paid your deductible. You must be unable to stand or sit unassisted because of a qualifying condition. The lift must be a durable medical equipment item, and the supplier must document medical necessity and provide the chair for your home use.
Start with a supplier who can bill Medicare directly, and ask in advance which parts of the chair are billable. Most people pay for the frame, upholstery and features out of pocket and look for reimbursement on the mechanism alone. A physical therapist’s note on mobility limitations strengthens the medical necessity documentation considerably.
Brands worth knowing
Golden Technologies and Pride Mobility are the two names buyers on mobility forums name most often for long-term reliability, and both build smaller frames for specific user sizes. MCombo is the brand that dominates genuinely small frames, and all three of its chairs in this roundup carry a 2-year limited warranty on the mechanism, electrical, upholstery and frame. La-Z-Boy and Signature Design by Ashley build mainstream lift recliners with dealer networks, which is useful if you want in-person service rather than shipping a replacement part. Check the warranty length in writing before buying, because it is one of the most common places a budget chair falls short.
One practical warning from how buyers read reviews: the most common failure point in budget lift chairs is the hand control, not the motor. Ask whether replacement remotes ship separately, and whether the plug-in power supply is covered.
Frequently Asked Questions
How close to the wall can a wall hugger recliner be?
A forward-glide wall-hugger design needs roughly 4 to 8 inches behind the chair, and the narrowest frames work with about 1.4 inches, compared with 20 to 24 inches for a standard lift chair. Measure from the back of the parked chair to the wall, then confirm the chair can finish its recline without touching anything.
What is the best power lift chair for short people?
Look for a frame labelled Small or Petite with a seat height between 18 and 20 inches and a stated user height range that includes you. In this roundup the MCombo 7893 targets users from 4 foot 6 to 5 foot 2, with a 20 inch seat height and an extended footrest so the legs are supported. Seat depth and backrest height matter as much as width.
What are some good lift chair recliners for small people?
Compact frames sold as Small or Petite are the right category, because they pair a narrower overall width with a lower seat height. The MCombo 7893 and the cinkehome Small are both built for users around 5 foot 2 and under, and the MCombo 7141 runs 32.7 inches wide with a 18.9 inch seat height for users up to roughly 5 foot 10.
What is the best wall hugger recliner for small spaces?
Among the picks here, the MCombo 7893 and MCombo 7631 use forward-glide infinite position tracks that need the least rear clearance while still reclining to 165 degrees. If your constraint is total width rather than wall distance, the cinkehome Small at 31 inches wide is narrower than any other chair in this group.
How much space does a lift chair need?
Plan on 4 to 8 inches of rear clearance for a compact or wall-hugger lift chair, against 20 to 24 inches for a standard one. Add the chair’s own depth, which runs from 28.8 to 38 inches in this roundup, and leave 30 inches of walkway space in front for a caregiver or Hoyer lift to work.
Will a lift chair fit through my door?
Only if the narrowest point of the delivery path is wider than the chair’s widest dimension. Measure the front door, the hallway and any corner the chair must turn through, then allow a few extra inches for the delivery crew’s hand clearance. Units weighing close to 100 pounds need two people on stairs and in tight hallways.
Will Medicare pay for a lift chair for the elderly?
Medicare Part B does not cover the chair itself, but it can cover the seat-lift mechanism when you are inside the Part B benefit period, cannot stand or sit unassisted because of a qualifying condition, the lift qualifies as durable medical equipment, and the supplier documents medical necessity for home use. You generally pay for the frame, upholstery and features yourself.
Final Thoughts on the Best Lift Chairs for Small Spaces
The best lift chairs for small spaces all solve the same problem the same way: they shorten the recline track so the chair moves forward instead of backward. Beyond that, the right choice depends on the user rather than the room. The MCombo 7141 is the strongest all-round pick at 32.7 inches wide with a 350 pound capacity and the largest review base here. The MCombo 7631 wins if you want to sleep in the chair, and the MCombo 7893 is the correct answer for a user around 5 foot 2 and under.
If your usable width is under 33 inches, the cinkehome Small is the narrowest frame that clears the bar at 31 inches. If you are above 350 pounds, the BRTHORY chair is the only option in this group that still fits a small footprint, though its review history is short. Measure the delivery path before you order any of them, and check the total-footprint number rather than the marketing name.
One last note for safety. A lift chair assists you into and out of a seated position, but it does not provide balance support once you are standing, so keep the area in front of the chair clear and use a walker or other support if your therapist has recommended one. If you are recovering from surgery or managing a new mobility limitation, talk to your doctor or physical therapist before buying, and ask a supplier who bills Medicare directly whether the seat-lift mechanism is covered for your situation.
For more space-saving picks across other categories, our guides to gaming chairs for small spaces and cordless drills for tight spaces cover the same constraint from different angles.
