This is a beautiful, modern twist on an Arts and Crafts period piece. I navigate toward more traditional antique pieces, however, this chair is a wonderful addition to any decor. It is solid as a rock, the way furniture should be made, but rarely is now-a-days. It does chip easier than I thought it would, but that may be a character of Teak? I have received so many compliments on this chair when friends walk into my home. It will last for years and years.
