These chairs were even better in person! The velvet feels luxe, the color is perfect and the brushed brass base is just the right amount of shine without being overkill. Seats are comfy and the swivels work perfectly. Very, very pleased. It's not that often that something ends up being better than you'd hoped. BTW- loved how the chairs were covered with lightweight "slipcovers" that had drawstrings. Nice touch to protect them during shipping.
