I bought two chairs for a room with a fireplace. These chairs are big, so once built we had a bit of a struggle getting them into the room. Could be because the old house is a little off-size but I would check the dimension of the chair vs your doorway. I am going to buy 2 more but I will build them in the room where they are going to reside. These chairs are beautiful, the wood gorgeous, and the product very sturdy. Not hard to put together but look at the picture when you are adding the arms.
