This chair is wonderful.  It is comfortable, will move to any position within it's range and goes well with the decor in the room.  I am 5'2" and my feet do dangle but I am supposed to keep them up, so this acts as a reminder to raise them. It is built for an average sized person. When I want my knees above my heart I just add a pillow under them and lean the back down to a comfortable spot.  I have multiple medical problems and find myself in the chair much of the day, but have no residual stiffness or back pain. It is really very comfortable.  I would recommend it to anyone.
