This gliding recliner is very comfortable and fairly easy to put together.  However, it is difficult for my wife (5'2") to push down on the foot rest to close the recliner to sitting from the reclining position.  The foot rest spring is so tight that it does not want to close to a sitting position from a resting position.  We appreciate that the FedEx driver helped bring the box into the house since it weighs 90 lbs, and I had recent back surgery.  Nice color (steel), good price, good quality, fast delivery.
