This is a larger profile than I was expecting, however I feel it's a nice looking chair.  The material has a microfiber look/feel to it.  As other people stated, the cushioning is a bit firm, but I think in time it will soften up.  I put a lumbar pillow on it to make it more comfortable.  Very easy to put together.  Time will tell to see how well it holds up, but for now, I'm pretty happy with it.
