We ordered these chairs/ottomans after finding the chairs we had just purchased were too big for our space. I thought, ordering sight unseen, that we would be disappointed when they arrived. NO WAY! These chairs are small scale, (which works for us perfectly), but are beautiful! The color is true to the picture, the velvet upholstery is modern, yet traditional. The chairs sit very well, and the ottomans are the perfect height and size to complement the chairs. We use them in an area usually reserved for company, and while we thought we would be the ones sitting on our nice comfy couch when we had guests, we find we're the ones who grab the chairs first! You won't be disappointed in quality, appearance, size or comfort (if you like a firm chair). And another bonus: We ordered on a Friday, and the chairs were here on Monday! We love Overstock!
