I just got it so I can't speak to how long this chair will hold up but it is packaged well, easy as pie to put together and the purple (grape) is a pretty gorgeous dusty purple. The cushion is fine but I imagine over time I will want to get one with a more quality fabric -- seems a little bit thin -- but maybe that means it will also be comfortable in summer. Overall, it's a great chair for a decent price.

Updated one year afterwards: It's a fine papasan but the bowl slips around too much on the frame.
