I purchased this chair for my bedroom in my parents vacation home. Impressed by the quality of the chair, we purchased 4 more for the common areas in the home. The chair is beautiful and really works well into a beach-setting. While the pillow isn't the most plump, it's not a big deal relative to the chair as a whole (and adding a decorative pillow is quite easy to do!). However, the seat cushion is quite adequate. 
As a side note, I'm a 6'3" guy. This chair is tall enough for me to sit comfortably in it, with full back support. 
Highly recommend this!
