I love these. They are sleek and modern with a flat back, which makes them nice for setting up in the middle of a room. They are comfy for morning reading and big enough to curl up in. The blue is calming and cool. The velvet appears lighter or darker according to the room lighting, but the first photo of the single chair is a super accurate representation of the color in my opinion. It’s a little pricey, but I can’t say that I was disappointed in the least, so maybe it’s worth it. I would recommend these overall!
