The chair was a special purchase for my father.  He is able to sit in the chair without having to sit too low. He can sit at the counter to eat or read, turn in the swivel to watch the birds outside and watch TV, all without having to get in and out of the chair. It is easy and comfortable. It made it possible for him to come back home and be comfortable. It was easy to put together. It looks great in the room. It is very functional chair, and you can't beat the price.
