My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    Have you visited West Elm, sat in this chair, and examined its construction? Personally I would be reluctant to buy a chair I hadn't tested for comfort.


    My highly personal opinion is that the legs look somewhat disproportionate and their design doesn't seem to go with the body of the chair. But it you love the way it looks, then my taste is irrelevant. The sit test and checking for construction flaws are what really count, IMO.
