The chair is attractive and really comfortable! I am not big or tall,  but I still like it.  I'm 5'5". I think anyone shorter would probably not be able to sit all the way back and get your feet on the ground.  I only gave it 3 stars because of the smell.  I read about  the smell in other reviews,  but it is way worse then i could have ever imagined. The first day the smell was so bad it was actually rubbing of on my clothes.  I stuck the chair outside over night and that helped,  but it has been 4 days now and it still smells. If you are sensitive to chemical smells I wouldn't get this chair.
