We purchased the Smith chair after much debate and deliberation for the "perfect" leather chair to add some warmth and dimension. As my best friend has the Smith chair, I loved it but didn't want to replicate... so we searched high and low for another option. There was nothing out there to compare so we bought our own! It is amazing how different they look given independent home stylings and locations, her brother didn't even notice we had added the same piece to our home. The Smith chair gave me exactly what I was looking for, style, comfort, well made and timeless. We have received so many compliments on it. My 5 year old finds it the perfect ramp to roll bouncy balls down and I love sitting it in to read, chat and watch tv. Thanks for making a piece which will be part of our lives forever!
