Suitable for upholstery project only. Low-rise arms make this good for reading & knitting. Moths got into the upholstery, but the frame is super-solid. Such a shame to waste the woodwork! CAUTION: Store this away from all other items with fabric and/or padding, until you get it stripped down to the wood. Dispose of the padding & upholstery safely and in such a way as to kill off any remaining moth eggs. You will need to transport this chair yourself.
