I purchased 2 of these chairs for my living room.  Wanted chairs with a solid base and arms so my husband (with severe balance problems) could get in & out by himself.  They are very solid and quite lovely---exactly as the picture shows.  The legs were quite easy to install.  My only reservation is that the seat is extremely firm.  Not uncomfortable, but you have to settle a bit to get the benefit of the lumbar support.  I also purchased small, cube ottomans for each.  When putting up your feet, they are perfect.  DLJ
