This is a beautiful chair, but luckily I’m not a reader nor do I sit much in my bedroom much, because it is not nice to sit in.  I mean not horrible, but ya lean way too far back even with pillow, and the seat feels kind of like a lump.  I wanted a chair for when I need to sit, as have sciatica so bad in mornings.  However, this does not suit well for that.  Great for putting on socks and such.   Personally I’d look elsewhere.
