This chair was the perfect size for where it was going in our house. I got it for my 10&11 year old boys for a reading chair in their room. It is extremely firm! I was hoping it would be a chair that they could cuddle up on and kind of sink into. It is big enough to cuddle up on, but the sinking is not happening. Ha! Also, the fabric is more of a heavy duty woven type fabric, and not very soft. Overall, I am happy with the chair, because it seems like it will stand up to kids possibly jumping/climbing on it a bit.
