It was a little smaller then what I thought it would be. I am 5 3' and weight about 140. Overall, the recliner is a good size for a smaller space and it is pretty cozy. I usually lay on a pillow since the pillow portion where my head sits is kinda flat when I lay the chair all the way back. I also don't feel like I am sinking into it as it provides good support for my back. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase of my first recliner.
