This chair is an absolute bargain taking into consideration it has a mid century design - almost all furniture with that design costs a fortune. Workmanship is very good, it's sturdy, color is just like pic. It's comfortable as an extra guest chair, extra dining chair (it's tall enough) or bedroom chair. I don't recommend it as a lounge chair for seat bottom does not have a lot of cushioning and it's a rather hard seat but for short term sitting it's perfect. It's also light enough to be easily moved. Building it is easy - just bolt on legs. it came packaged in a very sturdy box.
