Very pleased with this recliner.  Yes, it is a small chair.  But that is exactly what I wanted.  Lots of research and measuring of my old chairs paid off, as this is a perfect fit for me.
I have only had it 2 weeks, but it is quite comfortable so far.  It is obviously not Lazy Boy's top of the line, but I'm happy.
If you are a larger person, I would not recommend it.  Especially if your weight is heavier in your thighs--my thighs are on the thinner side of average, and I only have about one inch of clearance on either side.  
If you are a taller person, depending on your wants, I would not recommend this chair.  I am 5'9" and I can rest most of my head back on the chair, but I can't see how a taller person could.
I gave 5 stars because it is what it says it is--"petitely scaled"--and that is working great for me.
