I really wanted to love this chair, and based solely on looks, I do!  However, the base of the chair is wobbly and feels extremely unstable.  (It feels like I could tip over at any minute.)  I am in the process of remodeling, so unfortunately, by the time I was able to unpack the chair and test it out, I missed my return window.  I'd give it 4 or 5 stars for aesthetics, but the construction brings it down to 1.
