Love my new chair and ottoman!  This chair is extremely comfortable, firm arms for support with soft cushions and pillows that you can sink right into.  I purchased the cotton in tillery vanilla, a nice and light color without the fear of keeping that bright white color clean.  Just beware cotton is a magnet for animal hair, oh well.  I just threw a cotton throw over the chair and it seems to help, but you may want to go with a different fabric if you want to avoid having to deal with it.  I just really like that clean crisp cotton look. If you're looking for an overlarge super comfy lived in chair for relaxing and have the space this is a winner!  I suggest getting the matching ottoman to complete the pair, it is worth it and makes the set!
