This chair is beautiful but not as comfortable as I was hoping for. The seat cushion is secured to the chair with velcro but it still slides forward. If you like to lean back and relax your head against a chair while propping your feet on a footstool, this might work for you but bear in mind that I'm using it in my entryway as a place to sit while removing and putting on shoes. In this capacity, it is fabulous as it's got the look I was going for, the size I require and you're never sitting down all that long to do shoes!  I do love the fabric and nailhead details on this chair but it's not a curl-up-and-read kind of chair. Also, the color really is grey/brown. It's a very dark taupe. Super neutral while allowing the nailheads to make a bit of a statement.
