This is a well made piece of furniture. Arrives well packaged and a breeze to put it together. The linen upholstery appears smooth in the picture but in real life its quite coarse. Nevertheless it goes well with our rustic dining table. The only issue is the colour of the legs which is more reddish brown rather than brown-black as shown in the pictures. Potential buyers should keep this in mind from the perspective of colour coordination with their other furniture. The price is a little high on retrospect.
