My challenge seemed insurmountable. I needed a cute stylish mid century accent chair that was small enough for my little historic bungalow yet substantial enough to sit well in a small living room with 10' ceilings AND fit my giant 6'6" husband AND not contain carcinogenic flame retardant chemicals. I did it!!  Sure it's firm. I like that. Beyond attractive. Solid feeling. I couldn't be happier. Well packaged. Arrived promptly in beautiful condition. Happy happy happy.
