I was looking for a chair to lounge, read, etc in and create a small area away from the TV. The depth, back height, and width had me looking at this chair over and over as I scoured the internet! It is extremely sturdy which was important to me as I'm not a small person. I can sit in it cross legged, diagonal, with the cat, and all sorts of ways. The delivery was swift and putting the legs on was a breeze.
