I fell in love with this chair the moment I saw it.  Loved it so much bought two, and pretty much chose the paint on the walls in two rooms to work around it.  It's a good sturdy chair, and a lovely statement piece.  I will say though, my husband and father-in-law don't like them, not very manly or "inviting" they say.  Husband says the chair isn't good for anything.  I retort, nope, just for sitting, what a concept!
