When I saw the size of the box I questioned whether a chair and ottoman could both be inside.  Surprise, both were and the chair is a good size as well.  This is not a curl-up-in-the-corner-of-it kind of chair but even my 210 lb husband admitted that it was big enough for him and comfortable.  Only had to screw the legs on and it was ready for a cup of tea and a good book.
