This chair is perfect. I am not tall, i.e. short. With most chairs the seat length is too long forcing me to lean forward if my feet are to touch the floor or scoot back to support my back and have my feet dangle. This chair has a short seat length so my feet touch while my back is supported. The chair, which came with a matching ottoman was trivial to assemble - the legs simply screwed in, no tools required. What was surprising about the chair was that as soon as I sat in it, tension seemed to drain away. I strongly recommend this chair.
