We purchased two of these chairs, and find them perfect for both my 6'1" husband and for me at 5'3".  Since the chairs are rated for 400 lb. we thought it would be OK for a large man, but frankly, I was a bit worried about the seat maybe being uncomfortable for my smaller frame.  Have no concern about that! In addition, the color of both the leather and the wooden arms and base is rich.  The chair is stable, and overall we could not be more pleased. The test will be with time, in hopes that the seat padding holds up well.
