I purchased this chair for my Grandmother to use while watching television in her TV/sitting room based upon others' reviews indicating that it was very comfortable. My Grandmother is not extremely picky about such things, and given the price and design, we thought we would take a risk and order it. The chair is attractive, but it does not appear to be worth much more than what we paid in terms of quality, design, comfort, etc. However, it is difficult to find in-stock chairs with more trendy/designer fabrics, such as the black and white damask on this chair, so that does add to it's value and appeal. The chair sits very high and firm (to say the least), and the back of the chair is very low and straight up and down. You almost have to chuckle when you see someone sitting in it because, due to the way the chair positions your body/posture, the person looks so awkward and uncomfortable!! If you are purchasing this chair as an "Occasional Chair," which will not be used often or for comfort (more for show), then it may be right for you, but I would not recommend this chair if you would like to sit in it for any extended period of time.
