I was nervous spending so much on a chair, but this did not disappoint! So well made, very sturdy. Like others have said it’s firm but still comfortable. I wasn’t sure how the cranberry color would look because different lighting really effects it, but it’s very true to the online image. My photos don’t do the color justice. It matches my Ashanti Geometric Ivory Area Rug by Mistana (also from Wayfair) very well!
