I bought this as an accent piece for my living room, hoping to add a little texture and color. The subtle mix of blues in the chevron pattern were just the right touch. I'm always reluctant to purchase upholstered pieces on line, without the opportunity to touch and feel, but I have no regrets with this purchase. I've owned the piece for 6 months now. It has held its shape and looks every bit as good as the day it arrived.
