Great chair for the price. I’m 6’ 1” and my ankles are over the leg rest so if that bothers you then I would say 5’ 10” would be the tallest you should be. The chair is sturdy and the mechanics work well.  The padding is good on arms and headrest is firm. My two daughters put it together because I just had spine surgery. The chair has supported my head well. This is my first purchase from Wayfair and it came next day. I will be using ordering from Wayfair again.
