This chair has gone up in price from what I paid back in April. I wouldn’t pay this much for this quality of chair at its current  pricing. We bought two in the navy blue colour. It isn’t a dark navy and has a slight teal undertone  in bright light. They have worn well so far, although only one gets sat in frequently by hubby. I find the back too low to be comfortable for my neck and back. Wish it was slightly higher as well and would improve the chairs appearance. They are firm and haven’t flattened out yet. I like the antique brass coloured wheels on the legs. It’s a decent chair but be warned pet hair attaches super easy and is difficult to dislodge, the material isn’t velvet as I know it and have on several antique chairs but more of a brushed microfibre.
