Nice looking chair and easy to assemble. While it is possible that a child or very short adult could sit comfortably in this chair, no one in my family likes the chair because we all feel like we are sliding off. You must brace yourself against the ottoman to sit for even 5 min. We all agree the seat just doest not have a good depth (front to back). The best I can say is that my cat is fine with it. I have to say I'm pretty disappointed in the chair. Typically if someone visits, they sit on the ottoman instead of the chair.
