This chair exceeded my expectations.  It is very stylish and extremely comfortable.  It is light and simple in design, yet substantial.  Sometimes when I buy on line, when I finally see the item I am instantly a little disappointed if the item is smaller than I'd hoped, or a bit flimsy or poorly made. That was not the case with this chair! I was almost embarrassingly giddy when I added the chair to my new apartment living room.  I was delighted.  I've received many compliments.  Great chair.
