So I think I read someone say this chair was small. It is, but, I'll put it into perspective a bit. It's small and doesn't overtake the space you put it in. It fits perfectly under a desk I also just bought from wayfair and I can roll it around my room pretty easy without bumping things. My room is a good size but not large. However I am currently rocking 270 lbs and i was worried when i purchased it that i would not fit. There was No need though because i fit into it comfortably. It's sturdy as well. It's probably good that there are no sides but either way this chair works.
