Chair arrived in 2 boxes and I quickly had it assembled.  We had measured the chair but it does seem a bit narrower then we expected.  My mom is 5’7 and not skinny.  She said it is very comfortable! It is a very pretty color and the fabric is super soft.  The mechanics are slow but we think that is a plus.  She has a cat that can get out of the way before the chair lowers.  A definite great buy for the price.
