I bought 2 of these. They are the perfect size for a bigger accent chair. I wanted something that would be comfortable for conversation or reading. I'm 5'8" and average size and can sit cross legged in it. It's  firm, but not in an uncomfortable way. It's not one of those chairs that you can sink into. But I think that it's something I could sit in for a prolonged period of time and be just fine. As other reviews say, they are on the cool side of gray. I'd maybe call it slate rather than dark gray. I'm very happy with them!
