It’s great as a chair, but as a recliner , for me no . The leg rest only goes half way up when reclined. I thought all recliners the leg rest goes all the way up when reclined . . When reclining the recliner , all the way back , it will not lock in place . Like I was saying a beautiful chair, but for me , as a recliner, no . I’m saying all this because I don’t want someone else to be disappointed!!!look at the pictures , that is as far as the recliner leg rest goes out.
