Beautiful and compact chair, but the seat is extremely hard and unwelcoming when you go to sit in it.  We are hoping in time it will break in and get a bit more comfortable.  The arm rests are VERY low, we cannot rest our arms at all to sit comfortably.  It forces you to sit with good posture and isn’t very cozy feeling.  When reclining it is more comfortable and is smooth in doing so.  I accepted the chair, but am honestly disappointed.
