This chaise is covered in a very soft material. For that, it's mostly comfortable and worth 3.5 stars. It's nothing very high quality as it's not super sturdy but for the price it's pretty good! It's in a room we don't sit it regularly and is mostly for looks and the occasional relaxing moment reading. If you're going to use this on a regular basis, you may want to spend the extra $250 and buy something a little better.
