After looking through reviews for several glider/recliners, I noticed that the height of the back of the chair was important. This was the only recliner that reviewed as having a tall back, and my expectations were definitely met. I am 5'10" and I can rest my head back on this chair. The chair is very plush. It's easy to assemble. The reclining function is a little tricky--it only goes back when you're in a certain sitting position, and it is difficult to get back down as others have reviewed. BUT for the lowest end of the price range, I am still very pleased. I received it in a very timely manner.
