We love this chair!  My husband is 6'4'' and weighs 230 lbs.  Finding him a chair that is not only comfortable, but can extend high enough for his legs to be comfortable has been a huge challenge!  There is plenty of room in the seat of the chair and his legs are finally NOT up under his chin!  And just as important, the seat and back are so soft and comfortable.  I hate to keep saying one word over and over, but that's exactly what it is!  We love this chair!
