Just right for my five foot frame.Maybe not comfy enough to sleep in but nice for resting with your feet up. Great size for a bedroom or smaller room .Foot is hard to lower, have to actually kick it  backward to make it stay. NOT for children.My six year old could not get the foot to close .When he tried to jump over it ,the chair flipped forward and fell on him.Only the arms and back kept the chair from injuring him badly. Nice for adults ,not for kids.
