I like the Martha Stewart chair. It looks fabulous from afar. I'm just not sure what I'll do with it. It is rough and seems to be more appropriate for the porch, but I would hate to ruin it. To put it in my living room, I'll have to remove the smooth mahogany and leather furniture.  It is a very large chair and will dominate any room.  It seems very solid and well made. It was very easy to assemble. All the holes aligned perfectly.
