    This chair is, like the sofa, very comfortable. It leans back just a little - very nice. (Notice that the back cushion is not at the same leany angle as the back of the chair.) It's a little too deep for me to sit up straight and have my feet on the floor, since I'm only five feet tall, but the boot stool makes it just right. It's quite a bit shorter (from the floor to the highest point of the back) than I thought it would be, which is fine with me; it just looked taller in the H&M pictures. It's actually quite small. I LOVE the flat drink holding arms.

    The Weston is quite waxy and soft. It also has much less pull up effect than the Tiburon.

    The Buffalo head nails are super cool, but not very noticeable, being so close to the floor.

    This is a fantastic chair!

    Here's something I wish I had known before I ordered this chair: those nail heads on the back will poke holes in the wall!

    These dents happened the first time the chair touched the wall; last night it touched again and took the paint off. The walls are sheetrock. I wish I had ordered the chair with no nail heads on the back. I need to find a way to keep the chair from sliding - it's on a bare wood floor. Maybe rubber foot pads or something.

    There was a recent post on this topic just the other day, maybe that will help. The last post on this thread:

    Thanks, needstuff - I'll check those rubber things out!

    And I can confirm that the stock plastic gliders are not scratching my Doug Fir (a soft wood) floors. They are hella slippery though! I need sticky things for both the chair and the boot stool; the couch has two feet on the rug, plus it weighs 200lbs, so it does not slide.

    Dumb question, when you use these grippers, do you need to pop off the circle hard nylon sliders under the legs or do you just leave them alone?

    They can go right atop them, but it will look better if you remove the small nylon glides.

    Thanks, Duane. I already ordered some SlipStick Grippers from here: http://florstor.com/slipstick.html. I'll let you know how they work.
