First off...this isn't an "official" reproduction chair, but if it were you
could easily multiply the cost of this set by 10. You get what you pay
for, and this is a bargain for what it costs. Unlike more expensive
Pavilion chairs, the frame on this is cast as opposed to welded so
there is minor pitting of the finish which is to be expected. But it's
still a solid structure, looks great, and is only noticeable if your
really looking. The seat/ottoman cushions are of equal quality. The
tops which are leather are of good enough to get years of use,
and I can only imagine will age well adding a nice patina to the chair.
Although the sides and back are "leather match", fake, they do have a
consitant color and grain to the tops which doesn't detract from the
overall appearance. The cushion straps are in plain view unlike the
hidden fastners of the original, but they are black and somewhat
camouflaged. Set up couldn't be easier...unpack, hit with some leather
conditioner, polish the frame, and your done. If you have champagne
taste on a beer budget, this is a quality find.
