The chair, at first glance, is really pretty and LOOKS comfortable. Looks, as we all know, can be deceiving. I should have paid more attention to other reviewers who judged the chair to be hard and uncomfortable - because it most certainly is! I also don't like the fact that the seat cushion is not covered with the same fabric on all sides. The underside has a portion of matching fabric toward the front, and the rest is covered in a black non-fabric material, same as the seat platform underneath. While the chair is listed on your website valued at $699.00, it's barely worth the $299.99 we paid for it. I've learned my lesson. Any other upholstered furniture we need we will purchase locally, where we can see it, feel it, sit on it.
