This chair is absolutely GORGEOUS! Just what I wanted, for my living room. It's comfortable, unique and has character. Just an FYI...Mounting the chair to the base can be a bit tricky, but I discovered, turning the chair upside down, planting it against a firm object (I.e. - the arm of my couch), I was able to sit the base right on top, and insert the screws/washers, with no problem. Also, there is an opening, in the base, for your hand to be inserted, while you're screwing in. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase, and highly recommend to anyone interested in giving their space a memorable flair!
