There is no padding on the bottom of the recliner section, if you're small and don't get it pushed all the way down, before you can move, it snaps back up and whacks you in the shin! I still have a wound, and suspect it may be fractured, but I'm not rich and only have Medicare so I hate to go to the ER. But small buyers BEWARE!  Chair is a good color, rocks easily and does recline nicely, but hard to push down if (again) you're smaller. I'm only 5' and 95 pounds. Also random strings appear from just normal sitting. I snip off to keep from pulling. Did receive a partial refund, but should get twice that for pain and suffering! I'll be getting rid of it. I've already replaced it with a lay-z-boy.
