We bought his chair to replace my husband's old recliner. Since he is tall, I was a little worried about it being too small, but he loves it.  The only complaint is that we could not get the back to lock into place on one side, because one of the mechanisms was slightly bent out of place. My husband was able to repair it on his own.  Other than that, it was very easy to assemble.  We are very happy with it.
