This chair is absolutely beautiful and gives my small sitting room the elegant, cozy and welcoming look I was trying to achieve. I initially ordered 2 chairs to go with a small sofa, but after seeing the chairs I decided to order 2 more and forgo the sofa. The only reason I don't rate this product 5 stars is the the back is a little too firm for me. I'm hoping that with a little us it will soften a bit. They are intended for casual use, so even if they don't soften, they serve the purpose and the look is a show stopper. Love them!!
