I purchased the newton chaise as I was redecorating my bedroom & wanted a different look.  I read six reviews which for the most part were positive, however when I got it I sat in it & I am only 132 # I I sank in the middle which made it unsatisfactory..   I called birchlane & they said I have to pick something else out & put the money upfront for the replacement until the chair is inspected so this will be my last large purchase online.   The chair is poorly constructed & I can only hope whatever I pick is better.  Presently I have a lancer wingback with an ottoman which was $1700.00 & worth every penny of it.  Unfortunately, birchlane does not sell lancer furniture, wish me luck!
