The recliner is smaller than most, but the gliding mechanism is amazingly smooth for rocking. There is only one problem with it, and that is the foot feet return is very hard to lock back down.  I have to either lean forward and use two hands to close it, or get up with it still up and use my foot to kick it in. There’s no way you can lock it back in place with your foot while seated as you should be able to.  It should be able to be adjusted.  I’m a 200lb man so a small woman will never close it. 
      Other than that issue, the chair is good quality.
