size of button in java

enter image description here

I want to control size of button , I use Method setBounds But there is no change and this my code 

       public class levels extends JFrame implements ActionListener{

 //Variables 
private static JLabel chooseLevel;
private static JButton easyPuzzle;
private static JButton mediumPuzzle;
private static JButton hardPuzzle;
 // End Of Variables

this main cod 

public static void main(String[]args){

levels level = new levels();
level.setBounds(400, 190, 450, 450);
level.setVisible(true); // frame is visible
level.setResizable(false); // not Resizable frame 
level.setTitle("Puzzle Number : New Game");  // Title Of the frame

Container to add components

   Container cN = level.getContentPane(); //  Container to add components for farme 1
   GridLayout gN = new GridLayout(0,1,10,20); //object from GridLayout
   cN.setLayout(gN);

   levels.chooseLevel = new JLabel("              Choose a level :");
   levels.easyPuzzle = new JButton("Easy puzzle from ( 1 - to -15)");
   levels.mediumPuzzle = new JButton("Medium Puzzle from (1- to- 29)");
   levels.hardPuzzle = new JButton("Hard Puzzle from (1- to- 59)");

    //add components for frame

     cN.add(chooseLevel);
     cN.add(easyPuzzle);
     cN.add(mediumPuzzle);
     cN.add(hardPuzzle);
   }
   }
   }

to my understandings, GridLayout does not let you resize the components inside the parent component. Use another layout and use

button.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(sizeX,sizeY));

or

button.setSize(new Dimension(sizeX,sizeY));

where sizeX is width and sizeY is height.

Try using the setPreferredSize() method on the button, although the layout manager has the final word on what size is used in the end.

The LayoutManager overrides the bounds you set many times, and this is the case with GridLayout.

I suggest you go through the layout managers tutorial.
