Looks really nice and is firm but quite comfortable.  It’s not a swallow you up kind of armchair, but it’s big enough to tuck your legs under and enjoy a cup of tea and a book.  Some reviewers noted that the back is not very high, which is accurate, but doesn’t bother me at all, maybe because I’m on the short side.  It’s not a heavy chair, but it stays put. Great chair for the price!
