I am a 5''8 women and my legs go numb b/c of where the seat ends. The headrest sits oddly b/c of my height. If the back of the chair was able to adjust and give more seat room it probably would be better. We did purchase a second chair the person is shorter and really likes it.
I love this chair. It is perfect for short purple because the seat is not too deep. I am 5' and every other chair I tried had a deep seat that I could not sit in properly but this chair is perfect for my height.
