This is exactly what I hoped for to add to my librarysitting area. You cant tell in pictures, but it is a deep teal color. It is lightweight and small, but still comfortable. I was worried about pet hair being hard to get off of it, but the velvet material is actually really easy to clean. I can let my cat nap on it without worrying that I wont be able to get the hair out - it comes right off. It shipped and delivered very quickly. Would definitely purchase it again!
