The chair is beautiful and comfortable. It is not painted as shown. The wood pieces should be all black but they are not. There is a lot of brown showing through the paint. I’ve seen these chairs in other stores and it is solid black.  These are a very good price. I didn’t complain to Wayfair because I’ve received several items from them and there always seems to be a problem.  I feel as though they sell seconds. I’m disabled and it’s difficult to do shopping at brick and mortar stores.
