Easy to put together, and it seems quite sturdy. It's quite comfortable, too! I got the seafoam color; I like it very much. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of are the wooden frame pieces; it's textured to give a weathered/rustic look. It's not completely smooth, and I'm a bit anxious there are tiny splinters. I'd give this chair a 4.5. I'm thinking of ordering another one, pending enough space in my living room!
