I love these chairs!!  They are gorgeous, comfortable and supportive.  However, when fully raised, there is no foot bar, and your legs are dangling.  Also, the front edge of the chair is too sharp, so when you get off, you have to push yourself up and over the lip, or it almost scrapes the back of your thigh.  With a routered front to go with the shaped seat, it would have been PERFECT!!  A design flaw, unfortunately. Still LOVE them!!!
