The chair is beautiful, if a bit larger than I anticipated.  Like  a lot of the reviews have said, the seat cushion is a bit stiff but it is comfortable enough and I believe time will take care of the stiffness.  I use it primarily for reading or knitting, so it's perfect for me.  Delivery happened in the middle of the day while I was at work, but the delivery people made sure it was tucked up under our sideporch and out of the monsoonal rain we were experiencing that week.  The chair is really lovely and adds a lot to our living room.  Very satisfied with the purchase and delivery.
