The chair is exactly as pictured and the purple color is represented well in the stock photos. The seat space is a bit wider than usual which is good. I haven't sat in it long, but for the short period of time i have, the comfort level is standard. It's on the firmer side of soft. The only downside so far is the chair does not tilt (recline/rock) back. It sits upright only but the cushion can be sort of tilted up. Overall for $99 on sale it's a deal for me
