I need to return this item as it is the most uncomfortable chair I have sat in.  There is no padding on the back, just material.  I bought it for my daughters room so she could watch T.V./read in it, but you can't sit in it for any length of time.  It is too bad, as the colour is perfect for her room (exactly as shown in the pictures), and the perfect size.  As long as you don't need to actually sit in the chair it is a beautiful accent piece.
