This chair was my husband's Christmas present. He is over 200 lbs and likes a recliner that can swivel - he was very satisfied and it is now a favorite seat in the house. I find that I am smaller so I need several pillows to feel comfortable. But I love that the color matches the decor I like and he gets the comfort he wants! We got the grey color and it matches nicely with our blue/green living room colors and our brown leather couch.
