I wish I could give this 3.5 stars instead of just 3. As others have mentioned, this chair is extremely firm but I don't mind that since we won't be sitting in this chair often. It's in our master bedroom, and is mostly there for aesthetics. The arms are very thin with almost no padding - you can easily feel the frame, which definitely cheapens the chair. The ottoman has some indents/puckerings on the one side which cheapens it, but I keep that side faced in towards the chair. The mterial is nice, as is the color. Assembly was a breeze, and I was able to carry the chair upstairs by myself. Bottom line, it's a nice looking chair but the quality isn't there. You get what you pay for.
