I am a big guy and was afraid this wouldn't be good for my americanized body.  But the chare was bigger and sturdier than expected. If anything my wife (median height/build) could swing her legs when she sat all the way back.  I really liked that it made me comforable. 

Some cons though: Lighter than the colors seemed on the website (could be a color touched photo or my monitors color representation), and very plastic feeling.  

With a draped blanket and pillow I think it will soften up more.
