I am 6' tall and getting furniture that is deep enough to be comfortable can be challenging, leading to apprehension when buying furniture online.  This chair is fantastic, though.  It is the perfect depth for me with the throw pillows on it, and it is neither too firm nor too soft.  I was a little concerned that the gray would clash with my brown/gray fireplace, but the fabric has more of a brown undertone to it than the photos suggest.  In fact, when I removed the lighter throw pillow, I thought it was brown, not gray.  My guess is that the fabric is picking up on the yellow walls and dimmer lighting, so I would caution that it may not be as light/bright as the online photos when incorporated into a darker room.  But overall, this exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to spend many more evenings curled up on it with a good book.
