This is excellent quality and was really easy to put together.  It is well-proportioned.  I was worried I'd "fall out" the sides but it's nice and wide.  The faux leather is tightly tufted and shiny.  It is firm yet comfortable chair and will be great for reading.  I am 5'3" and it's nice because I can rest my head on the back.  The assembly was really easy, took about 15 minutes by myself and you don't need any tools (there's a small wrench included). All you have to do is put the legs on.  Very happy with the modern look of this set!
