I had high hopes for this recliner because of the great reviews, but it's just not very comfortable. It also looked much larger in the photo and description - if you are overweight/have wide hips this chair is probably not for you. The base of the chair is okay, but the back is too lumpy to be comfortable. It's very easy to recline, but it doesn't stay reclined so you end up back to sitting shortly after laying back. The rocking feature is nice.
