Final product: User analysis and evaluation
Client Evaluation: Overall I am pleased with the outcome, the corner design is welcoming and inviting, and you feel like pushing yourself right into the corner of the chair. Aesthetically the chair fits in well with the room blending with existing aesthetics through its boxy and square shape. Stores around 6 books in a organized way-subtly on diplay and not dristacting when you walk into the room as they are situated at the bottom. However whilst the books are easily within your reach when you sit on the chair, they are hard to see because they are situated underneath you so to select a specific cover you may have to get up of the chair to get a better look at the titles.
