Title: Beautiful but lousy
Product review: I bought two Melanie chairs a year ago. They are quite beautiful and comfortable, but...I use them for dining chairs. The frames are OK, but the upholstery in the seat has torn along the stitching, and the pads on the arms have split. I took the chairs to an upholsterer, and he showed me that the "Leather" is actually "bonded" leather, which means it is chopped and pressed onto a fabric back. He was unwilling to try to fix the chairs because it would cost more than they are worth!Unless you want what the upholsterer called, "disposable furniture," this is probably not the chair you want.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
