This is a beautiful chair!  I just love it, but…two things.one I cannot work the foot closure of the foot rest.  I have very weak kegs and it just won’t work.  The other is that it is hard as a board!  There is such stiff padding in the seat and almost no padding in the arms at all?  It is a bitter dissappointment, however, so beautiful that I am keeping it as an occasional chair and I will NVER buy another chair without sitting in it.
