As prior reviews stated it is hard to stand and close the reclining portion.  I'm 5'4" and my feet don't touch the ground when I sit back in the chair.  I don't find this a big deal as the chair is easy to rock forward and stand.  My husband is just over 6 ft tall so it works as a good in between for the two of us, which I did not think we would find.  Quite comfy and we are very satisfied with the purchase.
