The chair itself is nicely made and looks like the photo. But the hook and rope attached to the dowel are far too short. Suspended from the swivel attachment I have in my 9' ceiling, this chair hangs at chest height (I'm 5'7"), you can see in the photo that is falls just below my fireplace mantel. It doesn't come anywhere near low enough to sit and I will have to buy an extension. Since I have another very similar chair that does hang at the proper length without add ons, I am disappointed.
