This a beautiful swivel rocking chair. It is not huge and fits wonderfully in my living room. The reason for the 3 stars is the foot rest. It is extremely difficult to  return to the sitting position. Almost impossible for me as I am short and have to get up and push it with my body to make it go back into position. I am keeping it as it is comfortable and it necessary for me to keep my legs reclined also it would be terribly expensive to return.
