This is a beautiful chair! I purchased it for my reading corner. It’s very sturdy and the swivel base is a bit heavy, so it took me a little over two hours to assemble it alone. My one complaint is that the back cushion was way too firm for my personal taste. At first I couldn’t sit in it for more than an hour before my back and neck started hurting. I ended up unzipping the cover and removing some of the filler in the inside until it met my comfort level. Now it’s perfect!
