This chair is definitely elegant and makes for a great piece in a living room or bedroom.
It's not too large , I would say medium size to fit in a corner. The  color is just as the picture and the material is a little rough.  It's study, and as others have said, would add a cushion for added support. 
Very easy to assemble, and arrived nicely packaged and protected.
4 stars, because I wish the material were softer.
