My husband has been sitting in the same recliner for about 14 years, I even recovered it once then vowed I would never do that again.  Not an easy job.  So when I saw this chair, and it rocked, a plus since we have a new grandson he rocks in my chair, I wanted it for him.  I had already bought fabric to recover the old one but was really dreading it.  Apprehensively, without sitting on it first, I ordered it and it fit his 6' 1" body perfectly.  My feet do not hit the floor yet, I am sure they will when he gets the seat broken in a little.  I had an Interior Designer friend visit two weeks ago and she thought it was a great looking and sitting chair, we didn't need her approval, though it was nice, but it truly is a handsome, well built chair.
