This chair was just what I was looking for: smaller footprint, blue color, and a rocker!  I chose to discount the negative reviews based on so many super positive ones.  Well, I'm regretting it now.  At 79 years old it is obsoletely ridiculous to have to maneuver around the open footrest to stand up and literally kick it closed!  Not sure if it will loosen up in time as I really like the chair color, ease of reclining action and the rocking motion is great.
