了一点儿(le yīdiǎnr), can be added after an adjective to mean "a little bit too". It is softer in tone than using 太, and so is often used when the speaker doesn't want to insult the listener by speaking too directly.

Examples
Zhè bǎ yǐ zi shāo wēi yìnɡ le dián ér , wǒ zuò dé yóu diǎn nán shòu.
这 把 椅子 稍微 硬 了 点儿,我 坐 得 有点 难受。
这 把 椅子 稍微 硬 了 点儿,我 坐 得 有点 难受。
This chair is a little too hard. I'm having a hard time sitting in it.
As in the first two examples, 稍微 is often added before the adjective to further soften the tone.
