Smaller than I thought but its ok with me because I didnt want a bulky chair. When I first started using it the rocking part kept making a knock noise and I could feel it catching. So I turned over and saw the right roller catching on side metal bar. So I pulled the bar out a little and then was great . It doesnt recline far back but ok with me . Mostly I really like this chair. Very comfortable and works easy and very well.
