I bought this for my husband to use after his upcoming open heart surgery. It's a very nice chair, easy to assemble, operates smoothly and as it should. The negative, and considering the intended use it's a BIG negative, is he's 6' 1" and it's to short for him . His current manual recliner measures 65" in the reclined position and his feet hang over about 2" so I specifically choose this one because it says it's 65" reclined. I don't know why or how but his feet hang over the footrest in this chair by 9" and that will make sitting an extended amount of time and sleeping very uncomfortable for him. I'll have to find an additional footrest that's to specific measurements to support his feet to make it more comfortable. 
For reference, I'm 5' 4" and this chair is the perfect length for me.
