I debated buying this chair vs other armchairs for way too long, probably 2 weeks.  I wanted to use this as my office chair.  Finally, after driving myself crazy, I decided to just go for this one and I'm SO GLAD I did.  It's even nicer looking in real life.  The fabric and stripes are perfect.  The chair looks much more expensive that it actually was.  The pattern looks high end.  It's comfortable to sit at for hours.  I like that I can also sit cross legged in it (the joys of working from home!).  It's such a great purchase, looks beautiful in my office and the quality is far better than I expected.  Great purchase!
