We just got this chair a few days ago.  It was very easy to put together (2 pieces that snap together).  It looks kind of overstuffed, so I assumed it was going to need some breaking in, but it's very comfortable, and has great lumbar support.  I'm 5'6", and I can rest my head on the back comfortably, but it may be a little short for a taller person to do that.  I fell asleep in it the first time I sat in it.  You can put out the foot rest without having to recline, which is nice since it is going to be used as a nursery chair after our baby arrives in a few months.  Reclining is easy, though, just by pushing back with your torso.  It's also easy to push the foot rest back in just using my legs and feet.  The only negative I have (with such limited experience) is that it does have a funny smell.  I'm sure that will dissipate soon, though, and if it doesn't, I'll just spray some Febreze on it.
