I now wish I had chosen a better color even with the additional cost, but I didn't think it was going to be such great quality. I bought it for my daughters' room, but in the back of my mind figured it would go outside by the pool.  It is very nice!  The color is better for outdoor or maybe a boys room, but for the price is not bad.  I am going to have the cushions covered and it will dress it up.  My daughters furniture is the same brown so it is fine.  But wow, it is a great buy for the price, a store that I had shopped at previously had one for 399.00.  This is great quality and a good buy, my daughter loves it! The stand is sturdy too! Great reading chair for kids and adults!
