I really like this chair, we bought two. The look is great and it's relatively comfortable. In our homes it's mainly an accent chair in an office and a guest room. I personally don't feel this would be comfortable enough for regular use like in a family room... but is perfect for what we're using them for! It sits a little bit lower to the ground than expected, though  I would have known this had a checked the measurements. And it smelled a little of varnish at first but this dissipated over a couple of days. Overall, really like this chair!
