I needed a smaller chair for a nook in our living room that has been empty for too long. It couldn't be too large, or it wouldn't fit the spot. I have been "stalking" this chair for over a year, reading and re-reading reviews. Wanting it, but not wanting to spend the full price online without sitting in it first. I was waiting for a fantastic sale, but kept missing it. So I just continued buying other things on "O", and banking my rewards $. When I finally caught the sale, and cashed in my rewards, it became a fantastic deal! The colors are beautiful, and match my decor as if had chosen the fabric and had the chair made for me. It's also a really nice 100% cotton fabric, almost a twill, but softer. Feels great against your skin. This chair is really comfortable for reading and just sitting. My husband is 6'3" and says it feels a bit small for him, but I'm good with that...it's MY chair. :)
