I just received the Austin HB Chair, Weston Mocha, Friday and it really is a beautiful piece. We went with the standard cushions and it is very firm. A few questions: should the chair have a leather smell? There is none - not a problem, just curious. Also, the seat cushion (leather) is very loose - not taut/tight at all. Is this normal? Should there be some give in the seat? I just thought it would arrive tight and smooth. The head rest and bustle are very loose, too, and have many creases/crack lines. Is this normal? I have not called the furniture company yet - wanted your input first.

ALso, the ottoman is very tight - no creases or cracking in the finish. It looks the way I expected the seat cushion to look.

This is my first leather piece and I spent the extra $$$ for the H and M quality. I also opted to stay away from the Town and Country and went with the analine leather. Do you know which country the Weston Mocha leather is from? One store rep told me Italy, another said Germany!

Thanks, Duane!
