This is what I wanted for my office. I bought the gray color and the fabric is pretty and velvety and much nicer than the picture conveys. The item feels sturdy to sit on and is not too low to the ground. The one minor thing I did notice was that the seat cushion is somewhat on the thin side. It is not too thin, nor complaint worthy, just minimal. Considering everything regarding the product, including the price, I would purchase it again without reservations and I would not hesitate recommending it to others. In relatively quantifiable terms, the actual product exceeds the expectations I had from the photo by about 40.
