While this chair is in the mid-range for size, it is extremely comfortable even for large people. Smooth manual operation and reclines fully to almost flat; reclines to an intermediate position that is semi-upright, then fully reclines with a little extra lean-back. Fantastic lumbar support (very surprised by the support). The calf and foot rests are barely padded / not plush; the rest of the chair is very plush and comfortable. Very easy assembly in a couple of minutes; packaging is in 1 large-ish box that is a bit unwieldy but manageable. Suggest indoor delivery.
