Oh my goodness I wanted an accent chair but my hubby hated all of them  ( he is very tall; I wanted a chair I could crochet in)  Well he told me just order whatever I wanted. This chair came in and he loves it.  It was very easy to put together.  It is firm and at 5'2 I can sit and have my feet on the ground.  It is a firm chair not a cuddly chair. The color is a perfect brushed leather. We just love it.
