honestly the chair is comfortable for me, I’m 220 however my husband who is almost 300 lbs doesn’t fit in the chair. the seat dimensions are the same as another recliner we have And he fits great in this one he won’t even sit in because it’s to small of a seat. My biggest complaint besides that is when the chair is reclined it’s REALLY hard to put down especially when holding a sleeping baby AND it is REALLY loud when it does click in/close and often has woken my baby up. On the flip side it’s a good leg workout trying to close the thing, haha. I am going to try to return the chair and find one that my husband fits in and also on that you can close with the release lever (the same way you open it)
