Finding a small armchair was nearly impossible, so I immediately ordered this. As other reviewers have mentioned, it is very firm and uncomfortable, but still a good choice for occasional guest seating. While the front looks great, the back of the chair has a very poorly sewn panel that makes it look very inexpensive. This is a great choice if you'll have it against a wall, but the back of mine faces my entry, so I may need to find a new home for it.
