This chair is beautiful to look at, and I do so wish it were more comfortable for me. It may be good for other people, but unfortunately Ive found that it causes me back pain. Although I imagine the leather would soften over time, it is very hard to sit on, and I have to use cushions on it to provide back support as well as cushioning for the bottom. Because of covid, I havent had anyone else here to try it out, but Im hoping that its good for visitors even though its not good for me. I do love to look at it.

The hand tooling of the leather on this piece took my breath away, so I decided to give it to my dear friend as a housewarming gift and she loved it. The craftsmanship can?t be beat and it is truly heirloom quality.

The workmanship is superb. This bench is now my favorite piece of furniture. I use it every day as I get ready in the morning. It is a wonderful focal point in my decor. Friends have even described it as a throne, its so lovely. Gracias, Sr. Álvarez!
