I really love this chair & ottoman. I purchased two sets for my garden room. I was skeptical about buying online -- It would have been nice to sit in the chairs before purchasing to see if they were comfortable. I was not disappointed. The cushions are firm, which I like. In person the fabric is darker than shown in the picture. In the picture the chairs look light, but the colors are more subdued -- I see more of the deep red/rust color than the brightness of the gold. But I love them!! This was a good purchase...
