This chair looks like a much more expensive chair. It's comfortable and attractive, and will work in modern, transitional, and eclectic decorating schemes. I'm not sure it's real leather - it looks like leather, stretches like leather (which makes it comfy), but has a bit of off-gassing that I've smelled with synthetic. I could be wrong, though. It's a pretty substantial size, so check measurements. Arrived assembled and ready to go.
