i love this, it is slim so it wont take up space. But my mother in law which is the one that used it, is a 230lb woman, 5'6 and My 250lb husband which is 6'3 also fits comfortably. The chair reclines back far enough to feel like your laying down. I love it, it really is a great chair and sturdy. I got it for an amazing deal and would be willing to buy another!
