Great chair for tall people. I'm 5'11 and my husband is 6'3 and this chair is a great height for us. It's easy to get up from when holding a sleeping baby. If your back is straight up against the back, you can't lean your head against the chair which would be nice but it isn't a deal breaker.  It rocks well on hardwood but takes more effort on carpet. Also good for nursing. Once we're  finished with it in the nursery it will work in our family room. Highly recommend especially given the price.
