As some reviews mentioned, the back of this chair is quite low yet the front edge of the seat is a bit high.  A tall person will not get enough back support and a short person's feet can't touch floor if he sits deep against the seat back. But it's very comfy if you put your feet up and sit cross-legged on the seat.  My 5'3" daughter already claimed this chair as her perch.  It is very cute and well made.  I love its look and the soft velvety feel of the fabric.  Perfect lounge chair for short to average height people.
