Nice soft material, comfortable chair! A bit small (fits us okay, but would not be good for some). Has an antique/classic type look that I really like! Fairly easy to put together, only took about 20 minutes. One critique is that when it is fully upright it is too straight up and down to sit comfortably, I moved it at an angle (not right up to my wall) to allow it to recline 24/7 which makes it much more comfortable.
