Its the look.  I wasnt planning on spending this much on an accent chair, but I couldnt get this one out of my head. I learned that you get what you want the 1st time, otherwise youll regret it. I got the yellow it is  more like a spicy mustard, which is fine because it goes with my mid century theme. It is comfortable, but if you are on the shorter side, your feet wont touch the ground. Lol. All and all, it is perfect!
