It is easy to put together, no tools needed. Im around 59, my ankles and feet just hang off the chair when it is reclined. The seat is comfortable and kinda firm. The back and head rest are soft kinda like a pillow. The only downside is the arm rests. They are basically thin padding on top of a thin plastic material. When I put my elbow on either side of the armrests and some weight (to readjust myself or to lean on) I could hear a crackingbreaking sound. Now I can feel an indentation of my elbow in those spots of the arm rests. Other than that, its a nice chair.
