My recliner is not as tall as the one I got rid of, even though it was supposed to be an inch taller. I barely fit on the seat. It was supposed to be 20" wide, as opposed to the 19" wide seat on the old recliner. Because of the very "fixed" overstuffed arms, I only have about 17-18" of seating space. The footrest can't be used unless I press my heels as tightly as I can against the footrest, after it is pushed down---then stand up and push it really hard to go into place with my hands. I am disappointed in my purchase, but can't afford the expense of sending it back, and do not look forward to starting all over again looking for another recliner. So I am stuck with it.
