I reviewed a number of recliners before this purchase as I didn't want a large chair for my study.  I am 5'4" and weigh 125 and this chair is perfect.  I love the lumbar support and height of the chair.  The faux leather looks and feels better than I expected, it doesn't look cheap.  My husband is 6"3" and weighs 190 and he reports the chair is fine for him.  He assembled it without any difficulty.
