Six (6) foot tall, 270 lbs, like many 55, Im beginning to very carefully choose where I sit.
This chair is a definite winner! I was so relieved to find the seat height allows an EASY EXIT STRATEGY!! Just take your feet off an ottoman, rock forward, slide right off. No worries about not having a grab bar, cane, or helpful stranger to give you a lift! Back and seat padding is firm and ample, you may not want to get up even though theres no headrest.
Turquois is great color, and construction is sturdy. Buy a quality protection product and spray BEFORE ASSEMBLY (Free Expert Tip). Only 5 parts to assemble and was it fun to put together? No, but it wasnt the worst experience. My advice is to insert ALL receiving holes into the rockers as far as possible, then align them with the screws before attempting the assembly. Youll still need to man/handle the assembly. As the instructions advise, keep your screws loose until they all fit.
