The chair is very sturdy, and is comfortable, however if you are in the Sr. Group (as am I), I would not recommend. I think it would be great for someone about 6 ft. tall and young. For me it is extremely difficult to get in and out of, as the seat sits pretty high, and the fact that it swings makes it hard to get in it. Also, the legs (which makes it very stable) stick out way beyond the chair, making it a tripping hazard. Would have returned it, however it was hard to assemble, and I don’t think my husband would appreciate taking it apart.
