Yes its big, but thats what we wanted. We have an Autistic child in need of durable equipment, which this is.  She seems to like it right off and I believe she will use it often,  but this thing is big enough for me to.  I'm 6'1" 245 and I am quite comfortable on it. A luttle on the top end of ou budget but we saved up for it. The trick will be keeping the dogs off it. Like the selection of colors so it took us awhile to finally decide.   We are happy. It was my daughters Christmas Present. Thanks for the fast shipping right to our door. I'll be looking at other products online.
