This chair instantly elevated our living space! We were initially concerned about other reviews mentioning the chairback being too low and the chair squeaking. The back of the chair is low, but not uncomfortably so. It’s a great chair to have a drink in but not one where I’d curl up with a book. Regarding the squeaking, there was a little noise that seems to have gone away rather quickly. All in all, we’re very happy with this attractive addition to our home!
