I have some health issues that make it particularly hard for me to get up from low chairs. And most chairs are low for me, because I have long legs, a 35 inch inseam. This chair has a relatively high seat and sturdy arms, which means it is easier to stand up from. It was a little hard for me to recline, but this is adjustable. Tighten the two wing nuts on the bottom to make it easier to recline. With my long legs, when I recline it my feet are off the end, but it doesnt bother me. Meanwhile my husband has a 30 inch inseam, and when he reclines the chair looks like it was made for him, it is the perfect length. But when he is not reclined he needs a pillow behind him because the seat so long, front to back, that when he sits all the way back his legs dangle.
So in summary the chair fits long legged people better when it is upright, but fits short legged people better when it is reclined. It is a good compromise for our purposes. Both of us are finding it comfortable enough that we prefer it to our other chairs. And it is not enormous, it fits in a smaller space than other recliners we have owned.
I just ordered a second one. Works well
The short and the tall
