I've been looking for a sturdy chair after having knee surgery.  I'm 5'10" and "sturdy" myself so I was concerned about the size of chairs I looked at.  This chair is perfect.  It's high enough so it's easy to get in and out of including wide enough.  It's very comfortable as I use it to sit and watch TV and read.  The colors are very true to the pictures online.  If you need that sort of chair that functionality is more important than style you'll be happy with this chair.  You'll get functionality as well as its very stylish/pretty.
