This chair adds just the right accent to my living room (and it also works in my bedroom, which is fantastic). The velvet looks lovely, and the blue is actually a little brighter in person. Of course, with velvet, you can see hand prints if you move it around, which shouldn't be a big deal for most people. The legs were simple to attach, although it's not super clear which set go in the front vs. back. The chair itself is pretty comfortable, but not necessarily the kind you sprawl out in. All in all, a great purchase, especially for the price.
