I purchased this chair for my son's nursery. It was relatively easy to put together myself at 7 months pregnant (with some assistance carrying heavier pieces from my husband). We probably got it together in under 30 minutes. The back of the chair goes very high and the width of the seat is wide enough for a larger person to be able to sit in it; however, it wasn't so large that it overwhelmed my son's small bedroom. We got it in white and it looks great with our light oak nursery set. It's also pretty comfortable, especially if you prefer a firm seat versus one of the padded gliders.
