This rocker recliner is perfect for my size. I'm 5'5 and weigh 145 lbs and it fits me just right. And when I move it all the way down it stays down. The only negative thing about it is that you have to push the footrest back in yourself (the manual part) and at first it was hard to figure out how to do that without getting up and pushing it in with your hands. I finally got the hang of it and can stay in my chair using my heels to push the footrest in, hence the 4 stars
