This recliner is a great addition to my home. It is comfortable and sturdy. My recent visitors who have sat in the recliner seem to stay and stay--too comfortable maybe.?
It is a little hard to push back into reclining position but with grandchildren running amuck that is a plus. Some things are just for big people!
I am 5'8" and my husband 6'. We are well supported in comfort from our toes to the tops of our heads in this recliner with a dog or 2 on our lap.
