Bought this as a whimsical piece for a parlor in an old house we are restoring. (Not finished adding to the room in the picture) I was surprised at how well it fit with the old pieces!  Not really whimsical at all. The pink color is soft. And it is very comfortable. So comfortable that I placed it looking out the window at the ocean rather than by the fireplace where I thought I would place it.  Very happy !  Thinking about where I can use a blue one !
