I do a lot of needlework, so I loved the fact that the lounge chair is armless and ordered it. Couldn't be happier -- with the color, the comfort, the size, the material -- but there's more. The angle of the back supports my shoulders without killing my neck, so I can spend hours in this chair without fatigue. The only downside is my cat took one look at it and saw it as the world's largest scratching post. Cat is now locked out of my study. :-)
