I tried this chair in 3 rooms in my home before choosing a living room corner. It's a neutral color and not too big or overpowering. I would not sit in it for long periods of time, kind of firm but an ideal extra chair for company. I put a pillow in it to pull out the colors in my rug. It is a versatile chair at a reasonable price. Not hard to put together just pop on back in slots and screw on the legs--takes 10 minutes. Looks more expensive than it cost!
