After: 
Thank goodness for photographs being so forgiving (at least photos of furniture).There are definatly some major issues with this chair, but it looks great here. I had a lot of help from my friend Jen who finished her chair a little while ago.
I figured out some of the reasons I ran into trouble and am excited to do it right the second time. I have another chair that is a twin to this. I am excited to try again. Hopefully with less trouble this time.
