I was able to get this chair on "sale" for 500+ which is exactly where this chair should be priced. It's not a big chair by any means. As I'm writing this now they have bumped the price to over 1200$ and that is ridiculous for this chair. It is a very nice looking chair and it doesn't take much space. I was disappointed by all the rust on the metal interior components...makes me wonder how it was stored in the warehouse or shipping. The box it arrived in was barely holding together with holes and seems bursting. Not a way to ship a $1200 item. The chair is very comfortable and has a nice feel. As for the size it fits me a 5'9 210lb man easily but there definitely no room for my toddlers to climb up and sit with me comfortably. As reference I'm attaching a pic of my 5m old bulldog barley fitting with part of her hanging off. If the price of this chair comes back down to the real world I might buy another but would never pay over 600 for it....but that's just my opinion.
