I bought these chairs for my husband and myself because the description says they are 36.5” wide. We wanted bigger chairs because we are bigger people, and we liked the more traditional style of them. However, these chairs are NOT 36.5” wide, far from it! We tried to make them work but they just don’t, so we are sending one back. The other one came damaged in the box and the footrest doesn’t operate correctly, so we were told not to return it and we received a full refund for that one. I do appreciate the great customer service. I just wish the description was more accurate concerning size.
