Weve been using this chair for about 5 weeks now and it is comfortable, supportive, and attractive in our nursery. I use it with the boppy to nurse (56; 170lbs) and I fit perfectly width wise. But I cant lean back to nurse when the footrest is away and Im more hunched forward, but that might just be a personal problem. My 6ft husband also fits nicely on it when he bottle feeds. I would definitely re-purchase. I am impressed with the quality and material, especially in the hot climate I live in. I dont stick to it or sweat.
My only two complaints: you really need to use force to push the footrest back into the chair. Not ideal with a sleeping baby on you.
Also, you do need to use your stomach muscles and move slowly when standing up and out of the chair because it REALLY rocks back and forth (front to back) if you get out too fast. If you have a dog that likes to sit behind it like ours, please be mindful of this so he/she doesnt get whacked by the chair. Its also good to not have it too close to the wall on the right or left and have plenty of space around it. The space isnt a deal breaker, it just needs some space for the swivel.
Comfortable with a few minor flaws
