To be green or not to be green

I've been wanting a comfortable reading chair in our bedroom for quite some time.  I had an old rocker...but it was small and didn't have any arms.  It was not the most comfortable chair for sitting and, therefore, became a clothes hanger!  I was very excited to find this chair at a local consignment shop for just $35.  It's solid wood, in almost perfect condition and, well, green.
What do you think?  Should I leave it green?  Recover it with something else?  Leave it green but lose the skirt?  I need opinions!

Personally I would recover it. It looks like it is in great condition but I am not crazy about that shade of green... seems to date it. You could make it seem way more modern with a simple recover... but that is just my opinion! ;)

Definitely recover it! I'm planning to give my rocker a make-over too--it's dark green. We can figure this out together.

Looks like it would be adorable recovered, just tear it apart and use what's there as a pattern. And take pictures as you go, in case you need them when puting it back together. Fun fun!
