I purchased this as an accent chair in my bedroom.  It came well packed and arrived on time.  The only assembly needed was screwing on the legs.  I needed something to fit in a small space where I could put on/take off my shoes.  It's low to the ground, the seat is very firm and the back is quite low, so it would not be comfortable to sit in for long periods. But for the purpose for which I purchased it, it fits the bill.   The navy velvet is plush and rich looking.   I'm happy with this purchase.
