This recliner is perfect for a person not to big, can't have big hips or bottom. Also best for a taller person, because I suspect it might be hard to keep recliner in the flat position if you are short. I'm 6 feet, 175, so very comfortable for me. Very easy to to slide back into base of chair, and no you don't need two people to do it like the instructions say. Im 80 and had no problem assembling.Good strong material, nice light beigh-cream color. Swivels and rocks smoothly. Back just high enough for my height. Good price for a small recliner.
