"beautiful design"

This chair is beautiful to look at, and I do so wish it were more comfortable for me. It may be good for other people, but unfortunately Ive found that it causes me back pain. Although I imagine the leather would soften over time, it is very hard to sit on, and I have to use cushions on it to provide back support as well as cushioning for the bottom. Because of covid, I havent had anyone else here to try it out, but Im hoping that its good for visitors even though its not good for me. I do love to look at it.

"This is a folding chair"

Ive had this chair for some time now and when people see it they think the leather work is wood, they are surprised to find it is leather, and comfortable, not to mention beautiful. It folds up and can be stored out of the way, it is rather heavy to take along but I guess if one desired it could be done. The leather is all hand tooled and the flower design is intricate and beautiful, the hardware is solid brass and compliments the overall finish.

"Beautiful"

This chair looks even better in person. The leatherwork is gorgeous and the wood is stained with a rich color that accents the leather perfectly. The chair is a bit shorter than I expected, but it is exactly the specifications provided. It is a masterpiece.

"Colonial Coffer chair by Moises Alvarez"

We love our beautifully crafted chair by Moises Alvarez. The tooled leather is gorgeous, and the tornillo wood (a type of South American mahogany) is lovely and strong. The chair is perfect for our small den /music room. This piece is a great value and a work of art!

"Gorgeous"

An excellent piece of workmanship. Its very easy to assemble. Moises provides a few extra pegs just in case. I glued the pegs so they dont fall of accidentally.

"Lovely accent"

The workmanship is superb. This bench is now my favorite piece of furniture. I use it every day as I get ready in the morning. It is a wonderful focal point in my decor. Friends have even described it as a throne, its so lovely. Gracias, Sr. Álvarez!

"Adorable and lovely."

Beautiful handcrafted leather on the sides of the table as well as the top makes this piece very special. The contrast between the darker leather and the lighter wood adds to its interest. The drawer pulls are of good quality. The arrival of this purchase made my day and continues to give pleasure daily.

"I love it so much I bought another one."

I love the shape of this nightstand and the detail of the leather covering the sides and top. Its working very well as a side table in my living room—all sorts of things are put on it without its being damaged in any way. And as I said, after getting one of these I ordered another. Their shape is different from ordinary side tables/nightstands, and the distinction makes them prettier.
