You can order it with any one of four different arms-a lattice-type wood arm with top slat upholstered; sway-back upholstered in on an exposed wood base; & right angular wood base with triangular-shaped upholstered arm or a tailored closed arm on a high wood base. After you choose the arm you like, you can have the piece made up as chair or sofa.
