The color is a perfect neutral that matches and softens the room and it's narrow enough to fit into our smaller nursery. My husband and I both like the firmness of the chair; it seems it will be really supportive, but it's still comfortable. Baby hasn't come yet, but the armrests are taller than my first child's chair and I can already tell it will be easier to rest my elbows to nurse. It's tall enough to rest my head on and my husband is 5'10" and he can as well. Looking forward to spending many hours in it when Baby #2 comes!
