Yes, it’s a small chair. But the chesterfield style is a low back style. The arm height is no different than the normal chairs in my house. It just has a short back. If you’re putting it next to a standard overstuffed couchchair it’s going to look tiny. I do wish it’s legs were a couple inches taller. I don’t think that should stop anyone from buying it though. It’s pretty comfortable. The velvet is super soft (and slippery). I put it together by myself and only asked hubby to help flip it over so I didn’t stress the legs. One bolt was a little stubborn, but the rest went in just fine. Directions are good enough. It’s going next to another chesterfield chair in my ‘she shack’ bedroom so it should look in scale with that.  Overall, it’s maybe a little lacking for the price, but I’d still recommend it.
