We bought this rocking recliner for cuddling twin newborn babies. The chair was ordered 2 days before they came home and it got here very quickly. I'm still impressed at how fast it came, especially because it shipped for free! I love how wide it is. I'm 5'4" and I can curl up in it with a book, but my son is 6' 5" and while he can't draw his entire body up onto the seat, it's very comfortable for him too. The seat, though, is very wide and my feet only touch the floor if I scoot up some. However, because the arm rests are so thick, it is perfect for resting two babies at the same time in my arms without having to hold my hands up. It's a new mom's dream! 
The only downside and my reason for 4 stars instead of 5? You have to be strong to kick in the recliner's foot rest because a gentle nudge backwards with the ankles isn't going to close it once you open it. I have to get out of the chair and kick it closed.
