This is a pretty piece although not entirely practical. The price point is very high however the colourways are beautiful and as I wanted a chartreuse colour this was the option I came to buy.  It works well in our parlour. I did find the high end price not justified though and so it gets 3 rather than 4 stars.  Also it could be more comfortable....you definitely sit on it, not "in" it. A pretty piece though!
