It's a very small recliner which is fine because I'm a very short woman.  The only issue is that it's a complete struggle to engage the footrest feature.  I'm hoping that the more I use it, the easier it will get.  
Also, the photo makes this chair look very soft and comfy.  I actually thought it was a red, velvety kind of fabric and there's no description of it either.  This chair feels like it was upholstered in red burlap.  Very scratchy and irritating!!  It won't be AS bad in the colder months when a lot less bare skin is showing.  At the end of the day, if you're looking for something soft and cozy, this is NOT the chair.  It does look very nice but that's pretty much where it ends.
