I love this reclining glider. I’m 5’1” and it’s roomy and comfortable. My husband who is 5’10” said it’s comfortable even when reclining all the way back. The handle to recline is stuffed in between the right arm and the cushion. It was a little difficult to pull up at first but I have developed carpal tunnel so that may be a factor. I’m 38 weeks and have no problem pushing the footrest back down from the reclining position. Overall, I love it!
