My chair is definitely not blue but a darker teal.  I think the reviewer who said it was for children must have been commenting on another chair.  I am a long-legged 6 feet tall and when the backs of my knees are at the front of the cushion my back just rests comfortably.  I would say shorter people should be cautious.  The chair seems solid, roomy, comfortable and looks good.  Too bad about the color.
