I ordered two of these for our library room.  I had a chess table that was a bit lower than a standard table in a corner and needed a super comfortable, but elegant place to sit.  These completely fit the bill!  Absolutely beautiful in person and looked like they were custom made for my room.  I love the price too!  All you have to do is take them out of the box and screw on four feet - that already have protective furniture pads on them...couldn't be easier.  LOVE LOVE LOVE
