I have 3 of these chairs, 1 pink and 2 dark blue. Both colors are gorgeous. The material is velvety and very durable. I’ve had the pink one for a year and a half. I’ve used it as a desk chair, accent chair, and dining chair. So it’s had a lot of use and zero stains, scratches, or tears.They stand up to hours of daily sitting, being used as toys by children and cats, and even when a child uses the arms as a napkin at dinnertime. They are very comfy.As a desk chair, the straight back was great, but if you’re at your desk for hours, add a pillow. Although the seat is comfy for an hour or so, it starts to feel hard after longer time periods. I’m large (about 250 lbs) and often have slight complaints from similar chairs. These don’t sink or creak at all under my weight.The company is great and responsive. I had issues with my second purchase (completely out of their hands), and they were very helpful.
