Fits more like a hug, still room to bring your feet up in but not for an adult to curl up in sideways like larger more open ones. This keeps arm rests to your side. They spin easily, so when the 50 lb dog who can curl up in it jumps off the chair spins backwards to face the wall - so I do have to rotate them back regularly. The metal base does have tiny black rubber feet I think 8 of them.
