This piece of furniture is stunning. The velvet is so soft and it’s a true jewel tone which is important to me. It’s a bit small, but that makes it all the better because it’s a perfect accent piece. One downside is that it’s fairly stiff at the back. I have a tufted bed frame and it’s more supple than this, but the cushion you sit on is soft. This isn’t something you could lounge on for hours, but it’s great enough to feel regal and chic for a while. It was simple enough to put together and took no time at all. I adore this piece so much. I think my husband may enjoy it as well haha!
