This chaise was one I kept coming back to for several months. Finally pulled the trigger and I am so glad I did! It is beautifully made, sturdy and long enough that you can really relax on it. The only thing I did was to loosen the tucks around the tufting more for a more relaxed look. It is quite firm to sit on but that is fine for a new piece of furniture. (I sold an antique Duncan Phyfe couch with a soft,low seat so as to buy this one. As an older adult I couldn't even get off of the seat any more.) I am very pleased with this purchase.
