Bought this chair for my daughter's nursery - she is now 15 months old so I've had time to test the product.  It's still in good condition (just squeaks a little when rocking) but the reclining option was CRUCIAL during infant period when times she wouldn't sleep in the crib.  It is comfortable for long periods of times and works for my husband who is 6'2 and me - I'm 5'3.  I would recommend this chair.
