Seems solid/sturdy and went together easily. Very comfortable. Only complaint or item to be aware of is around height. If you need this for a tall counter/bar/table, the top height is a bit overstated as the chair goes down a few inches when someone sits in it. Wish it was a few inches taller (like it is when not pushed down by body weight). Also, regarding putting it together, there are black plastic caps that must be removed. They were very tight and couldn’t be removed by hand. Be sure to have wide pliers available to get the grip to remove them.
