It’s big and perfect for my son. We just had to take the back cushion out for it wasn’t necessary. He is a big kid and the back was straight enough for him. And it was the only way the chair would fit him. Overall he is happy and comfortable
The only negative I can think of is the arm rest do not lock in place. What i mean by this is that when you put weight on them they slide forward or backward or will push out to the sides I like that the arm rests are adjustable just not that you cant lock them in and keep them from moving
My son chose a less expensive chair for his birthday but the reviews on this one were better. He is 6' tall and weights 180 lbs. I am 5'4" and weigh 145lbs. The chair is very comfortable for each of us. It is supportive along the back and hips. I sit in it and recline it...always joking with him that I'm going to take a nap in it. It truly is that comfortable to me. Now about assembly...pretty darn easy. I did it by myself in about 12 minutes. It probably took me that long because I read then re-read directions so I don't make a mistake that would take longer to correct. It would have been easier if I had help fitting the seat onto the post of the base. Wonderful chair at an affordable price! Quality materials. I order blue and black because that was my teenage son's preference. I think if in all black would look elegant rather than "Cool".
