Scrolling elm arm rests with matching tapered legs. Front edge of the chair is worn and frayed to piping making this an ideal candidate for re-covering. Very comfortable chair and well designed, imagine re-covered in a tan leather.  Ideal for that hotel foyer or in the home. Seat height: 15 3/4" Seat width: 21" Seat depth: 21" Arm height: 24 1/2"
