The look is great for the living room (have it in the light blue).  I find the seat a bit too firm, and because I am small, the seat height end sup being a bit too high for a relaxed seat. Taller people are ok with it.  It is well made and I appreciate that.  The only comment is the wood arms are rougher than pictured.  I'm ok with them, but was disconcerted when I unpacked it.
