I adore this chair. If you're looking for a modern take on an 'oversized curl-up-and-read-a-book' chair, this is it. The way the back curls around, and how the pillows prop up against it more than makes up for the lack of arms on the chair. If you were to sit 'normal' in the chair, you'd easily have enough seating for two adults, although it would be more the experience of sitting on an ottoman (which is great for the contemporary chic cocktail party). The fabric is a soft micro suede that feels good on the skin. I even appreciate that the chair comes with optional wheel attachments.
