I purchased this item in the natural color to use as a desk chair in my home office.  I loved the design but was initially hesitant due to the high price.  I kept thinking about it and then decided to just go for it.  I have zero regrets.  It arrived in perfect condition despite the fact that it was packaged in a box without padding.  It’s solid, well made, sturdy, and surprisingly comfortable.  Everyone who has seen it in person remarks on its beauty.  Since buying my first home last year, I have purchased quite a few pieces from Wayfair.  This is my favorite by far.
