I didn't expect much for a chair at this price. What you get - a pretty decent looking chair that's fine for light use. Putting the legs on the ottoman was confusing until I saw the instructions for the chair. Overall, the chair is very pretty, especially dressed up with a pillow and throw.  I'll probably scotch guard it before we have guests. Not sure how this fabric would hold up if you had a pet with claws. The seams on the arms of our chair a bit unbalanced and the seams on the ottoman cushion aren't straight, but it wasn't enough to bother me considering the price we paid. As others have mentioned the chair is *very* firm--but I don't mind it as it provides plenty of support. I'm sure it will loosen up with time. Overall, decent chair for the price.
