The chair is a  large, heavy quality item and very comfortable for me. I like the fact that the seat is higher off the floor than most, making it easier to get out of if you have back problems. It was simple to put together, easier if there is 2 of you. The only reason i knocked a star off was because some of the screw caps are too small for the hole's and fall out, but thats  just a small cosmetic problem. I read some review's saying that your feet may not touch the floor, i am 5' 2 1/2in and my feet do touch the floor, i think it may be because the seat is large so you may need to add your own cushion to bring you forward a bit. I love this chair. The cushion at the back is comfortable. All in all, this is a comfortable quality solid rocking chair.
