Arrived in the time predicted and I was happy by how the delivery went.

The cuddler itself is a slightly more purple-ish red than the red in the pictures, though fortunately for me, that means it works even better with my reddish-purple accent wall. The upholstery does have a slightly cheap feeling to the touch, but it otherwise feels sturdy, and I like the cushioning level. 

Another minor surprise - it is deeper, and the arms enclose more of it, than it looked from the pictures. But again, I find that useful. It's in a position (next to some corner windows) where you might want to be able to sit with your back against a number of different spots, depending on whether you are watching the birds outside or talking to someone in the room.

Overall I'm very happy, and I hope it lasts a long time!
