We purchased this chair based on the detailed reviews from other buyers. This chair was a compromise between mother and her adult son who has just graduated from college and is now residing in our home. My designer chairs were not comfortable (for watching TV) but they looked great in our empty nester home. He wanted a man cave recliner. Not going to happen! So, we sold the designers chairs and bought this chair in gray. The ottoman was a bonus. The price very good. My son is 6'4 and slender. The chair is comfortable for him and tall enough in the back to support his back and head. This chair is firm and you do not sink into it.  The rocking chair motion is a welcome feature for the grandchildren. The chair does not require a lot of space and could easily be used in a bedroom. We are happy we bought the chair and everyone in the family uses it on a daily basis.  We have had the chair for about three weeks.  We hope this review helps. B Bradley Fleming Island, FL
