I am only 5' 1" and my feet hang over the edge of the foot stool.  When the chair is upright, the back is so straight that it isn't comfortable in that position either. I bought this for my husband, but it does not work for him even though he is only 5' 6".  Very disappointed in this product.

Pros: The material is nice looking and soft.
Cons: The chair is not comfortable to sit in.
