“beautiful design”

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.

“This is a folding chair”

Ive had this chair for some time now and when people see it they think the leather work is wood, they are surprised to find it is leather, and comfortable, not to mention beautiful. It folds up and can be stored out of the way, it is rather heavy to take along but I guess if one desired it could be done. The leather is all hand tooled and the flower design is intricate and beautiful, the hardware is solid brass and compliments the overall finish.

beautiful solid sitting upon

“Gorgeous”

An excellent piece of workmanship. Its very easy to assemble. Moises provides a few extra pegs just in case. I glued the pegs so they dont fall of accidentally.

“Lovely accent”

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!
