It was the exact dimensions I need. It wasn't obtrusive but it makes a statement. It matched my charcoal / cream kitchen. It was powdery when I got it, needs some wiping. No assembly needed and "Fragile" was in the packaging so I felt safer it was handled well. There was a "pink" chalk line in one of the legs which was probably due to quality control as one of the legs has a bit of a chip, but it was only in 1 of the 3 chairs I ordered. Heavy wood and durable and won't seem to stumble.
