This chair is totally nice looking. The fabric very sophisticated is the perfect shade of gray and has a subtle herringbone pattern. The piping is what makes this chair though. The contrast is so pretty. Usually you have to custom make a chair with that detail, however, its not that comfortable at all. Its pretty hard but since it looks so nice I would never return it and I put it in our office to fill a corner. Initially, I was debating buying two at the same time for my living room but I wanted to make sure whatever I put in there is super comfy so I bought just one to make sure I really wanted a second chair, but its not comfortable enough for me. Having said all that I adore this chair and everyone else that sees it does too and it looks totally beautiful in our office.
