I purchased two of these to replace the “push back” recliners in my RV, and I couldn’t be happier. The “push back” recliners had to be moved about 16” from the wall before the could fully recline and that used up a lot of space in the RV. These will fully recline when placed less than 4” from the wall. I am 6’-1”” tall and find these recliners very comfortable in any position. I have not experienced any issues relating to the absence of a “locking” position or the “small size” as referred to in other reviews. I would recommend this recliner to anyone.
