The single piece of leather stretches over time, and the belt on the underside of the seat can be tightened by the user. This is a powerful, simple, beautiful, and personal chair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThis item is vintage, so it may have scratches, dents, and stains.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e We ask that you understand and enjoy this as the charm of vintage items.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eIf necessary, we may contact you and send you a photo of the affected area before shipping.
