havanaholly Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Your goatskin is brown (on my monitor). The Morris chair we had was upholstered in a napped fabric and had a foot rest we could slide out as well as moving the rod to adjust the back.

I messed it up a little but a lot of these are to test the plans so the next one will be better.
