Im 61 and my feet dangle 2 or 3 inches off the floor, when I sit in it. The depth of the seat is at least 2 more inches than the distance from my back to the back of my knees. So, if I have my back against the backrest, my calves are forced into an angle that forces my heels to be a couple inches away from the chair. In other words, I feel strangely small in the chair. The height of the backrest is perfect. It would likely support the head of someone up to about 65. I ordered it to sit in while trying to recover from surgery, as a result it may have seemed more cumbersome to put together than it should have, but it wasnt easy. The delivery drivers tried to put it together, but could not. The cushions are very firm and the chair is sturdy. Nothing is loose or squeaks. I assume the cushion will relax over time. The only negatives Ive found are, first, there is not enough tension (or a way to adjust the tension) of the back rest. You can stop the chair at intermediately reclined positions if you are careful, but if you are not thinking about it, the backrest drops to full recline, as soon as you extend the footrest and lean back. The one thing that is starting to concern me is that the faux leather or walnut colored fabric that covers the chair seems as if it will wear out soon and certainly years before the rest of the chair. Ive had the chair less than 2 months and, already, the fabric has worn and rubbed to a solid light brown spot, 3 to 4 inches in diameter, where my head rests against the chair. The fabric seems noticeably thinner at that spot, as well.
Big, comfortable chair.
