This chair with ottoman is perfect for my needs. I placed it in a small space in the corner of my living room. The ottoman that stores under the chair is a plus, because I was looking for a small ottoman, but had no place for it. The chair is small. That also works for me , because I am 5 ft 2 inches and most chairs are too deep for me. Some reviewers commented that the seat was hard. I agree, but with the barrel shape and the ottoman pulled out, it just feels like great support. My brother stopped by, sat down and thought it was a great chair. I was very surprised because he is 5’11,” I love my new chair with ottoman.
