Customer Reviews
Heavy, well-constructed, simple Stone Age adjustments, and looks terrific in my home office.
Packaged very well, and went together smoothly. Caveat emptor - The seating surfaces are full grain leather, but upon unzipping the cushions, the non-contact surfaces appear to be faux, though that seems entirely reasonable at this pricepoint (I just wish it was made clearer in the description).
I did not receive a shipping notice, and got the tracking info by going back to my order a few days later. I’m willing to blame that on ordering from a small shop between Xmas and New Year’s.
All in all, it’s a lovely, chunky piece of furniture. We’ll see how it holds up over time, but my initial impressions are very positive.
Great for the price.
Very comfortable wide seating and the back rest. Nice looking leather. Packaging was well done and all parts there.
Very impressed with the care taken to wrap the individual parts for shipment- ensuring no damage through delivery. The materials are all very high quality. The leather is buttery soft and a great color. Looking forward to the patina to develop with age and use. Quality components for the adjustable parts make it a very comfortable chair for my office.
this is such a steal! amazing quality and i got it in under a week!
