This is really a very cute settee.  In case you are wondering, it is firm and
not really made for comfort, but that is fine.  It is a 'microfiber' and has the
look of velvet (and similar feel).  I ordered the lavender.  There are many
shades of lavender so if you are curious, this one is on the pinkish side
of lavender.  I was looking for more of a Periwinkle color (which has blue in it), so it doesn't go exactly with my decor but I'm ok with that.  It's a keeper and I get many compliments on it.  Classy piece.
