I bought two of these chairs.  They look beautiful.  The fabric is very nice.  The dark blue is very striking and velvety.  They sit high and are very sturdy.  The only problem someone might have with them is that the cushion is VERY stiff.  You sit down in them, thinking they look like they will envelope you, but you hit a hard, 'bench like' chair that is not extremely comfortable.  It works perfectly however for the office waiting area I placed them in.  I am hoping the cushions will hold up well because of their firmness, as they have been placed in a very busy area where they get a lot of use.
