I never give negative reviews, but feel I must regarding this chair. From the moment I saw it online--I had to purchase it! A beautiful piece of furniture. It was out of stock and I waited with excitement for it to return. I purchased it and we assembled it, or tried to. The top and bottom inserts were not aligned (a huge manufacturing error!) and we could not line them up to insert the top to the bottom. We hammered and hammered until they kinda fit into each other. Also, the screw in the top part of the chair, would not allow us to screw it in. So, we gave up. Lastly, it is the most uncomfortable chair I've ever sat on in my life! It was just too much of a hassle to return it. Aesthetically, it's beautiful, but I would not purchase it again, which I had plans on doing.
