This chair is exactly what I expected / needed. This chair serves its purpose for giving a place to sit in a small area.  You get what you pay for. For under $300 this chair is very adequate. For the people who complain about this chair being too small, or not comfortable enough, I say one thing "WHAT do you expect"??? If you are going to sit on this chair for hours in a day, it may not be the best purchase. If you want something easy to move, can fit in a small space, will sit in only every so often or for short periods, and has the bonus of a little built in ottoman, this is a smart buy. Good luck in your shopping!!!
