I had a corner of my bedroom that was sitting empty and I wanted to turn it into a reading noom. I looked all over for a chair like this, and while I still think it was quite expensive, I do love it! As others noted, I also had the issue with the smashed cushion but just rotated it and its fine. Me and me young kids- sometimes several at once, have cozied up here to read together! Did take a good 2.5-3 weeks to arrive. Really like  the material and color. Thumbs up!
