This is a “Buyer beware” and READ THE FINE PRINT product!  You cannot let the footrest out without the back reclining at the same time. You cannot sit up to watch TV with your legs propped up. In fact, by the time your feet are actually up in a resting position, the back is so far back, you are looking at the ceiling. There is no comfortable position except all the way up in an upright position and feet on the floor or all the way back as if to sleep. This information is provided in fine print on one of the pictures, so shame on me for overlooking it. But seriously, who would manufacture something like this. It’s great if all you want is a swivel rocker but forget about the multi position reclining feature.
