I love, love, love this chair. I found one on clearance at TJ Maxx and bought it but they only had one. Then I found more on Great Offer Stock. So I quickly snatched one more up. The wood is beautiful and sturdy. Solid wood not laminate. It is also very comfortable (it doesn't look it). My husband sits in it all the time and moved it from the corner so he could sit in it and watch TV. It isn't a bulky chair and is a great occasional or an all the time chair. I bought the green and it is a nice green. It goes well with blue and tan.
