Sometimes the design(s) can be deceiving. I’ve sat on/in things that looked comfortable, but ended up being very uncomfortable…and vice versa. I will try to go to the RH in Summerlin, NV and sit in both chairs (…

Its fantastic. I don't know the last time we bought a piece of furniture from a store honestly.

which looks oddly small in the photos, but it was big - and the prior house…
