I purchased this chair for my 85 year old father.  I wanted a sturdy, but attractive armchair.    This armchair caught my attention immediately because of the intricate design on the wood and the beautiful rich color.  The seat of the chair is very wide and the back is curved just enough to give him good support.  My father loves the chair.  It's comfortable and he uses the arms to support him when he is getting up.  I am less concerned about him falling out of the chair because of the arms.

Pros: Great bargain, sturdy, beautiful craftsmanship.
