I want to set the record straight. When I first looked at this chair, I read the reviews and people were saying stuff like "it's too small! When I got it, I thought it was a chair for child!" (Please add your own sarcastic voice to the previous quote for full effect). Anyways, to those people I say: look at the description. The dimensions are clearly stated. You were not swindled. You got what you ordered. Pictured with this review, is the chair I bought on the right, and the chair it is replacing on the left. Is the old chair wider? Yes. Does the new chair have a shorter back rest? Yes. But look at the height of the two seat cushions. They are the same height. This chair is proper size for an adult. It's an accent chair. An accent chair ACCENTUATES the room. Hence the name. It's supposed to be this size. It's not meant to be a massive lay-z-boy that you spend hours in, watching the game and eating Cheetos. This chair is great and I love it and if you want a great chair this is it.
