I was looking for a chair that would replace my previous recliner because it was broken. I didn’t want anything too bulky like an oversized recliner so I decided to give this one a shot. The more I sit in it, the more I love it. I was skeptical at first because of the drastic difference in my old recliner and this one. But I am happy I went with this one. It is not hard to put down the foot rest and it is very comfortable. It even comes with a lumbar pillow and the glide feature is great! I would highly recommend if you are looking for a smaller recliner and glider all in one.
