I adore this chair! I bought set in emerald green to accent my gray mid-century sectional and they look great. The color is vibrant and will definitely make a statement. Unfortunately the velvet got a little smushed in places during shipping, but I was expecting that for the price. Not enough damage to make me need to return them. They are firm, but more comfortable than expected. Great place to curl up with a book or sit to chat with company.
