In the novels, the Iron Throne is a 40-feet, immovable, asymmetrical behemoth that is made from an actual 1000 swords welded together; according to author George R.R. Martin, the Great Hall around it is as big as Vatican City's St. Peter's Basilica. The seat is 20 feet above the ground, and can only be accessed by a flight of stairs, so that the king or queen is addressing people down below from 40 feet away. Martin admitted that this was too impractical and less dramatic for the show, so they downsized it to a much smaller throne, made from 200 swords at most, and the person sitting on it almost at eye level with the audience. Throughout the series, the only characters that can be seen sitting on it are Eddard Stark, Joffrey Baratheon, Cersei Lannister, Tywin Lannister, Tommen Baratheon, Jaime Lannister, and Aerys II Targaryen ("The Mad King"). The last two are only shown seated on it in flashbacks during Bran's visions.
