I purchased this rocking chair for my younger daughter's nursery.  I was looking for a chair large enough to cuddle up in and read books to both of my daughters (a 5 year old and 1 year old).  This chair fits the bill perfectly.  It is a chair-and-a-half size, which is great for accommodating a couple little ones on your lap/sides.  The fabric is nice, wipeable, and kid friendly.  The color is true to the picture on the website - a grayish/beige.  Very happy with this purchase!
