Im 5 feet 6 inches 223 pounds, because of various diseases my muscles are weak, this chair not only looks fantastic, its comfortable and perfect for people with lower back issues. I have an issue with most chairs because I cant get up from a sitting to standing position on my own, I can comfortably sit and stand with this chair. The cusions are comfortable but firm, you arent sinking into it.  For a normal person probably a ten minute put together after unpacking, much care and detain putting into the packing of the chair. It took me much longer with my disabilities but I got it done.  Highly recommend for office or home. I have a combined kitchen living room and its clean lines makes it fit into the space without taking up too much room.
