Absolutely LOVE this chair and ottomon set. The fabric is rich looking and the frame is very solid. They also arrived with fabric covers on the chairs and ottomons, and with the legs safely stored inside the respective pieces of furniture - not a single mark or pulled thread on anything! The seats were very firm at first, but have softened after just two days of use. I added a throw pillow to each chair and think they're perfectly comfortable reading chairs! I cannot recommend this set highly enough, especially for the price!
