I will never again buy an upholstered chair or sofa. I knew it was a gamble.  Very disappointed in my 2 new peacock blue chairs.  The cushions, seat and back are more than firm, they are hard.  The fabric is scratchy.  We live in the desert and wear shorts most of the time.   You get what you pay for.  Should have waited to find cotton or velvet fabric and thicker seat cushions.  These are pretty to look at.  They are a light turquoise.
