I purchased this recliner for my son's nursery.  I was using a wood glider that didn't have pads on the arms and was worried my son would hit his head while I was nursing him.  

I read a lot of reviews about this recliner before I purchased.  The overall theme was it was comfortable but very difficult to close when reclined.  Those reviewers were correct!  The chair is super comfortable and I'm very happy I purchased it but it is VERY difficult to get the foot rest locked back in place.  I have to push it most of the way in them walk it back with my feet on the ground.
