Much nicer than I expected. Sturdy but light enough to pull in and out from a desk. The fabric is not velvet but a soft  microfiber and the color is true to the picture. The height of the arms are approx 23 inches - not 20 as stated in the description. This worked even better for me. The chair is pretty deep and not comfortable for dining. I’m using it as a desk chair with a pillow and it’s perfect.
