This was a pleasant surprise. It's sturdy, the fabric is very nice (Venga Gray is a dark gray - def gray - not black) and it fits perfectly with my very large light gray sectional in the room. It's not matchy-matchy but similar enough in style that it makes sense together. The throw pillows I had on the couch mix/match well with the chair, as well. The box it comes in is VERY LARGE AND HEAVY. My husband had to help the Fedex guy get it up our stairs. The only thing you have to do is remove it and screw on the legs. And its ready to use. It's quite comfy. This is a vacation home and it won't get a TON of use, but it seems like it will hold up quite well.
