It looks really nice and def makes a statement in my living room, however it just serves as something to look at. It was soooo uncomfortable and the cushion was a lot firmer and thinner than it looks in the photo. I gave it three stars because the velvet and look was really really nice and if that's something you want just to add character to your space than go for it..if you're looking for a chair to sit in this is not for you.
