I have that chair! It looks a lot brighter in person.

Is it comfortable? Is the fabric sort of nubby? I'm interested!

I think the chair looks really cute.

I've seen and tried this chair in a store (Zone, if anyone cares). It's very bright orange, as SeattleKel mentioned. The fabric is not nubbly, but has more of a visual texture. I found it reasonably comfy, but felt I had to sit one way on it, though I didn't take the liberty of using the ottoman.

I don't like it. I prefer the original design from which it's modeled.

Agreed. You guys should rename this feature Hot or Meh or Not.

Kinda hot -- the design ins good, but feels like a knock off to me. There are a lot of vintage chairs with similar bones out there, and unlike Eames and other MCM furniture the vintage pieces can still be found cheap...

It's cute enough, but it doesn't jump out at you. I voted "not", though, if I needed to sit down, I would gladly sit on it.

I don't really like it. The ottoman is too similar to the chair seat and the fabric is uninspired.

Ooh..I really like this! Reminds me of a vintage chair I sold a few years ago.

I think I'd rather find a groovy vintage chair & ottoman at a flea market and have them reupholstered in my choice of fabric than get another cheap imported chair of questionable quality and no originality.

it's pretty comfortable, but a little too firm (at least when it's new). it's pretty low to the ground, so it would only work with with low furniture

This seems clunky in comparison to the vintage versions I've seen. It has very thick ankles.

This chair was shown in our local furniture store as part of a dining room - it's one of the few that my BF found comfortable enough, but it was a little large for a dining chair. It looked cute, but it wasn't right for our space. It definitely makes more sense as a lounge chair.
I checked the (?) manufacturer's site, sitcomfurniture.com, and it doesn't seem to be offered in other colors. It's also available at Home Decorators for about the same price. (It cost twice as much at the furniture store!)

kgreene, yes! Exactly what I was thinking. The tufting makes it look sort of lewd to me.

Heinous proportions, hideous ottoman.
