<p>[QUOTE="Born2it, post: 4423640, member: 59977"]I rather like it. Is it comfortable? Sturdy? When you turn it over, are there any badly done repairs? Will it work in your home as is, or would you have to re-upholster it? Does it smell strongly of anything unpleasant, or of scented Febreeze or the like? Press the cushioned parts firmly a few times to be sure. You don’t want to get it home and discover an unpleasant odor buried deep in the cushioning! Is the finish original? In good shape?</p><p><br /></p><p>If it is what it looks like, (and someone here can probably tell you if you provide pictures of the underside, back, closeups of any joins, clearer pictures), and you like it, and it’s comfortable, I’d say it’s worth buying. If you have to get it reupholstered, it could easily end up being a very expensive chair… but you would have something you like that could outlive you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
