This chair is awesome.  It is deep and very comfortable...if you are tall it is the perfect chair.  For a petite person, not so much.  Works best with a lumbar pillow.  Bought this so I could rock my first grandchild...and my husband who is 6'7" fits this chair nicely.  It is a beautiful chair.  By the way it is tufted which you may or may not like but I have a throw over it and it is very contemporary.
