Wonderful chair. I bought this for my husband returning home from hip replacement surgery. Even the in-home PT's complimented the chair for it's sturdiness and usability. My husband is very comfortable in this chair for relaxing and it has been wonderful for his recovery. He is 5'10'' and 275lbs and it fits him very well. I would highly recommend this chair to anyone. Not only is it sturdy and well made, but it is a beautiful chair.
