I could not be happier with this velvety soft chair! The rich chocolate brown fabric is perfect and goes great with my cow print accents. The olive and orange colors also look very rich. It is an item that comes exactly as pictured. The channel stitching on the inside back of the chair adds a nice detail. The outside of the chair is smooth with no stitching and looks great. This is an elegant touch in my room. The compact size and low profile are my style too. The chair pad that you sit on is removable and reversible so if you do have any spills it would be really easy to take off and clean on a solid surface. I don't believe this is machine washable though. I have mine as an accent chair in my room so that won't be a problem. This would be great for dining or a vanity chair. The seat and back are very comfortable but supportive. This chair does not swallow you up and is very well made. It should hold up for a very long time to come. One of my favorite things about this piece is that I opened up the box and absolutely no instructions needed. It was completely assembled and ready to be used with absolutely no flaws in the velvet.
