This transitional chair lives up to the promise of being as comfortable as it looks. However the design had a major problem, which would be disappointing even at a sale price.
The problem begins with the first step in the instructions where you attach the seat bottom to the back frame. The screw holes did not align (see picture). Additionally, the opening provided in the bottom of the chair which allows you to screw in the bolts is not a flap that lifts, but a half moon flap, when unzipped, blocks your view of the area youre working on (the zipper was very irritating too, as it dragged across my skin).
Next, the bolts for the seat are the same length as all the bolts used on the chair, and in this case too short for the job if you use the washers. After several attempts to align the screw holes I had to give in and drill new holes and use wood screws. I added an additional screw at the center. Frankly, the bolts or screws are really not the best plan. The bottom and back should be supported by an additional stretcher bar as used in the front and bolts used to secure it.
The cream color is accurate, the fabric is light and cool, with some wrinkles that will come out. Fortunately this is for a guest bedroom, so daily wear is not an issue. I passed on the arm covers because I like the look of the wood. Its a low profile chair, more than youd think from the photos, but is comfortable with a lumbar pillow thats just right. Cautiously recommended, but not at full price.
