This chair is perfect for a small space. I purchased this chair with the matching sofa and ottoman instead of a second couch or love seat.  Our living room is tiny so I was concerned about having too many big pieces crammed into such a small space.   If you buy this chair with the ottoman, you will not be disappointed! I look forward to coming home and curling up in this chair with my dog, sometimes I even work with my laptop parked on the ottoman. There is more than enough room, this chair is like having a second couch.........and sometimes it's like having an extra dog bed too.
