I am disappointed with this chair and it will not be going in my living room now. The description said it was white velvet. It did not say it was a crushed or other type of velvet and I was expecting what I say in the picture and words: that it would be normal velvet. The main concern is that the instructions say to not open the seat and back until you are happy. Unfortunately, the instructions say to put the cork (wood) in where the screws are and then open the seat and back. The package said the items were cork, but they were unstained wood. That is not attractive with the stain on the chair. Also, either the holes weren't drilled correctly, or the wood inserts weren't as they don't all fit properly, which looks hideous. There are two holes in the front bottom of the chair that have nothing in them and that isn't discussed in the directions. This chair will be donated.
