I chose this for a bedroom reading nook but it would look great in any room. To my eye the color is more towards a bright navy rather than a royal blue. It is on the small size so doesn't dominate, but happily holds my large framed self.  It is sturdy and well built, pretty amazing quality for the price! The instructions omit, except by a confusing drawing, that you must raise the velcroed strip neatly hidden along the back side to access the screw holes for attaching to the base. 

Pros: looks, well built, fairly easy assembly
Cons: directions need to be clearer
