This chair is gorgeous, but thats where the pros end. Unfortunately the design is super awkward. It is very deep and if you scoot back to where your back is against the chair, your legs dangle like a little kid. I'm 5'6 and cant even touch the ground if I tried while touching the back of the chair. The seat cushion is way over stuffed and really hard and the back cushion is understaffed and almost a little saggy. The arm rests are also too low to put your elbows on when sitting upright. So while this is really beautiful, the design is not meant to be comfortably sat on. It would be great for a front room that no one sits in... Or for someone who is well over 6' tall maybe?
