I scoured all the typical furniture sites before choosing this chair, and I'm so glad I did! It's just as beautiful as in the picture, a rich dark green. The material is soft, and the chair is wide enough for me to sit cross-legged with a book. There's a handy pocket in the bottom where the legs can be stored if you have to move it. So well designed. Perfect delivery to my awkward 3rd floor apartment, worth every penny!
