This is a beautiful chair! I’ve never used velvet upholstery before but this is very nice. Came with a couple of black marks on the right arm, but they wiped right off with a damp white rag. Looks more expensive than what it is. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because the seat cushion could be a little thicker. It actually sits well the way it is, but a thicker cushion would improve the looks.
