It is a beautiful chair and got hard back support. But the description mentioned that the chair can be adjusted to lean back, but it feels very stiff, and I haven’t been able to recline it at all. Additionally, as someone petite (5'3"), I found that the backrest is shorter than it appears. It only reaches up to my neck, making it impossible to lean my head back and rest comfortably. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision.
