"A folding chair?"
The Leather Wood Chair, Inca Gods has spectacular leather work on the seat and back. The black wood finish works with modern decor and accents contemporary furnishings. Im less impressed with the hardware,it being the regular hardware galvanized/cadmium plated finish leaves the piece as an after thought on assembly, so I painted mine black. The folding mechanics of the chair are simple and work well when cleaning up the house.

"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.

"Bien Hecho Moises Alvarez y Hermano"
Well Done Moises Alvarez and Brother. Exactly as indicted with clear assembly instructions. The leather seat tooling was especially beautiful. You may need a little wood glue for the bottom of the unit...certainly not a problem though. And finally the packaging was superb.
