ok..the good: the chair is lovely to look at and well made.  the cons: it is not comfortable! the cushions that come with the chair are about an inch thick and very hard....also, the height is too much for anyone on the shorter side. a 5' friend sat and her feet were dangling...not comfy at all. If you are a bit taller and willing to switch out the cushions, it is a nice chair visually.
