One reviewer said the chair was small but not too small. “It’s well made and sturdy without being heavy and difficult to move,” said GPFord, whose wife uses the chair in her office. “It’s also attractive and actually adds to the aesthetics of her office. And best of all, at least from her spouse’s point of view, it is exceedingly easy to assemble.”
