The chair is well built, and is really a beautiful piece. The size is substantial enough for my husband (6'2") to be truly comfortable in, but doesn't look bulky. And the quality of the upholstery is wonderful. Unfortunately for us, the color of the upholstery was a bit of a shock. We ordered the chair in "classic indigo." I did not take them up on their offer to send a free swatch in advance, and regret it. But from the website photos, I never would have imagined it would be so very bright and bold. Am hoping to exchange the chair we received for the same style in a different color... because again, the chair is wonderful. My recommendation would be to take them up on their offer to send you free swatches... even if you think you're in too much of a rush, like I did.
