I wanted this chair solely because of the tropical parrot pattern. I have parrots, you see, and like to compliment them with parrot artwork or whatever. I thought this chair was rather ugly, but as I said, I liked the pattern. Wow, what a comfortable chair! I was totally surprised! I would definitely buy another if I had the space. I'm working on that!  My cats have decided they like the chair also, but I just push them off when I wish to sit on it.
