My father is 5'9",  weighs 137 and chair is too short.  Feet hang off the end.  Foot rest does not elevate very high....nothing like his manual recliner.  Almost feels like he is reclining but will slide off the chair.   Positive...paid to have it delivered next day and it was... easy to assemble and pretty light. Lift worked great and my 93 year old father could easily handle the remote.
