This is the perfect chair for a small space, or under a window if you don't want to obstruct the view.  The seat is quite deep, so had to put a small pillow at the back - but then I'm only 5'3" so maybe ok for taller people.  I also found the seat quite firm, but it seems to be softening up the more I use it.  Love the copper accent around the back and sides, very different.  It is not your comfy, sitting for hours reading chair, but if you are purchasing it as an accent piece it is perfect.
