The chair is solid (quite heavy). It's very attractive and comfortable. Note that you cannot adjust the height, so measure to make sure it will be the best height for your desk. It did arrive with a bit of damage to the upholstery arm from the packaging process. Someone taped it overzealously and it pinched the padding. I wrote Wayfair for a replacement part, though, so once it's replaced, it will be a great chair.
