It isn't the most comfortable chair in the world, but not bad either.  Quality is excellent. Fabric is exactly what the pictures show - very well put together. I do like to sit in it - so it's not that is is uncomfortable...  I needed something to go in the corner of the bedroom and this small chair works perfect. It's a classic and elegant styled chair and because it's petite, it calls no attention to itself. But once you see it, it's very pretty.  It worked perfectly.  It fills space with style... I am 5'7 so I just fling my knees over the side of the chair and it's perfect. It comes up to about 3/4 of the height of my back - so emphais on petite... I could read it in for a couple hours - but not longer than that since the back is a bit stiff. The seat is soft and the buttons are well sewed and placed. It looks expensive. The only assembly is the four feet which screw in place. In all, I loved it.
