I states the chair is 40 inches wide, but looks like a child will barely fit in it do not buy is you are a 200 pound man like me it's small to me very small. Really disappointed in the way my order was handled, not sure if wayfair dropped the ball or whoever drop ships for them but  never got an update on my shipment for over a week, so I called and they told me they would look into it, "start an investigation" and they would get back to me within 10 days, I mean really how long does it take to call the warehouse and see what the problem is? So I called after 10 days, I forgot to tell you 10 working days, then get an email order has been canceled. Had to start all over again. I don't call that very good service ? Just measured the entire chair is 42 inches but sitting area is about 24 inches.
