I’m so happy I chose this chair for my Nursery after researching many other more $$ brand store names & other rockers/ swivel chairs on this site.  The material is soft,velvet- like and the color is a beautiful dark gray.   The cushion is very firm which I personally prefer & you can add pillows for support.  I’m 5’8 and the back of the chair is a perfect height for support. Wood is dark natural finish & perfectly compliments my hardwood floors. I helped my other half assemble and it took less than 20 min. Beautiful chair at a reasonable price. Can use in other rooms of the house as well due to versatility and neutral, non- babyish look.
